The ninth Share Festival, held in Turin, Italy in May 2016, awards a "Share Prize" for best electronic art on the festival's theme of "House Guests," which raises a series of questions about everyday living and the Internet of Things, inspired by Casa Jasmina, a human-centered model IoT home:
[Machine translation from Italian]
*
What happens when art would abandon the screens of our computers, kiosks, galleries and becomes domestic art?
*
How can this provocative guest escape the cyberspace and to become part of the family?*
When the net art becomes "Art of the Internet-of-things", as can blossom in the kitchen, in the bedroom, on the terrace?*
How does the artistic economic structure when homes become permeated by the internet and social media? This "guest house" and 'a friend, a tenant, a squatter, an illicit lover who enters by the back door while the surveillance cameras are distracted?*
When the digital art enters the private property – something similar to the much-loved family portrait hanging on the wall – who is the owner of this art, one who collects, who keeps it?*
How can children inherit this art?*
What new roles can be played by artist, gallerist, curator and the godmother?*
The best art for the home is produced in the same house?
The deadline for entries is Feb 14.
