Vector Festival 2024: too fragile to hold, curated by Miriam Arbus, explores the combined experiences of migrating species, weather patterns, geopolitical scrambling, and algorithmic data processing, reminding us that all is cosmic, symbiotic, interconnected, intersected, and intertwined. As we grasp at urgent inequities and the world’s paradoxical trajectory amidst rigid systems, a precautious, hopeful path is driven by new technology at a relentless pace where digital products promise solutions.
Through a hybrid online and in-person program of exhibitions, performances, gatherings, and workshops, this 10-day festival invites artists and audiences to come together into embodied experiences where mutualisms might flourish and simultaneity resounds, as we ask: will we follow the birds when the weather changes?
ABOUT THE CURATOR
Miriam Arbus
Miriam Arbus has an ongoing, developing practice interested in issues that intersect around new medias and digital technologies, post internet and post digital existences, and new feminisms. She investigates the shifting geographies of new realities and landscapes and the potentials this offers for openness and equalising representation. Her practice has taken form most frequently in curatorial pursuits: organising conceptually-driven exhibitions and participatory experiences that are responsive and relational.
