Lūznavas Manor will open an international digital art exhibition SPACE FOR ECHOES (Echo Chamber-EN)

The EUROPEAN CONNECTIONS IN DIGITAL ART - EUCIDA (digital art covers Europe-LV) is organised at THE ECHO CHAMBER. In the 2017 exhibition curator Matthew Nevin, as a project motto, has chosen the idea of the wrong world. He sees the effect of echo in media and social networks that reflect generally accepted, public-popular, right opinions, while the digital art allows to reflect the wrong world. The aim of the exhibition is to allow digital art and technology to express their own, non-traditional, yet European public opinion on politics, culture and society, making it clear that digital art can only be understood by a technologically educated audience.
Exhibitions in Ireland, France and Latvia will be held during the project. Each country will be represented by two artists active in various areas of digital art. The exhibitions will show the technologies that have made it possible to create contemporary works of art. The exhibition ROOM has been working with French artists, Jeanne Briand, and Fabian Leaustic, with Irish artists Adam Gibney and Helen McMahon, and rasu Schmiti and Paula willow, who represent Latvia. The strong, informative and experimental works may be provocative and are unacceptable to the traditional exhibition gallery. They break the generally accepted views on modern politics, culture and society. Matthew Nevin has encouraged artists to be aggressive, politically inaccurate and challenging.
The opening of the 2017 exhibitions:

• 9 June at 13.00 Rēzekne municipality in Lūznavas manor, Latvia
• 16 June at 18.00 Modern Art Center Rua red, Ireland
• On 24 June at 17.00 Modern art centre Espace Multimédia Gantner, France

“Digital art covers Europe” (EUCIDA) is a 3-year project financed by the European Union's “Creative Europe” programme and implemented by the modern art centre in Ireland (Rua red) and France (Espace Multimédia Gantner) in collaboration with the municipality of Rezekne. The aim of the project is to establish cooperation between digital artists and cultural acquaintants in Europe, thereby developing innovation and promoting the popularity of digital art at international level. 
EUCIDA is also a growing, interactive and innovative Community of multimedia artists, curators, researchers and cultural workers who have merged to create new forms of artists' cooperation: opportunities for exchanges of experience abroad, creative workshops etc.
