The W:OW project – We Are One World
http://wow.engad.org
http://wow.engad.org/open-call/

is a media art project in an exchange between virtual and physical space (online/offline) dealing with the most essential question of human existence, eg. the survival of the human species and planet EARTH as a living habitat for all species and biological systems. The project is open for digital artistic media (visual – moving, interactive, static images and non-visual – soundart) and -will be released in different presentation formats – The online/offline W:OW Project core – the W:OW Art Film & Vidfeo Festival and the virtual and a physical W:OW exhibition in all its constellations (confronting & integrating analogue & digital media). Participating is free of charge.

Human made – that’s the basic keyword for all threats, just to name some: The exploitation of the natural resources to the benefit of just a few globally acting corporations destroying the natural environment sustainably– the global warming and the climate change as a result of this misuse taking a dramatic impact on the environment and the nature as the living habitat enforcing people to migrate migrating due to the destruction of the living habitat, discrimination, persecution, expulsion and extermination, threatening animals, plants and the biological systems with extinct, making the resources of fresh water shrink on all continents which has the huge potential for military conflicts in future , the military conflicts of the Present to the benefit of some regional powers like in Middle East, Africa or Ukraine, and the overwhelming globalization as a result of the rapid development of new technologies, making people anxious they might loose their identity and privileges, and populist political movements try to manipulate and misuse the emotional uncertainty of these people to destroy all the real civilizational achievements made during the past decades and centuries, by reviving most destructive ancient nationalistic, extremist, fascist and even terrorist ideologies which have the potential to catapult the human civilization back on an pre-industrial stone-age like state, while the true problems of global and local nature leave, however, unrestrained escalating.

More conceptual details
http://wow.engad.org/about/

By using the two fundamental key statements ” We Are One World” and “The Global Meets the Local”, the dynamically structured W:OW Project has to be considered as a kind of sample cosmos, a progressive and experimental common world on a small scale in which the participating instances (artists, curators, etc) are taking a particular responsibility for the “Whole” as well as for each other. In this way The W:OW Project is representing for them the platform for approaching the Utopia by developing concepts, asking questions and giving answers through the creative works to be incorporated.

„The W:OW Project“ is inviting artists from all over the world working in different media disciplines to reflect Present and Future of our planet as the place where life as such, the amazing diversity of a magnificent nature and the human species had the chance to arise, where this human species made such incredible achievements during the civilisatory development until these days based on humanity, empathy and creativity, expressed, for instance, in art, the sciences and a free and open society – We Are One World.
