Background of PERFORMED IMAGE

In an era where visual experiences have transformed into consumption due to the flood of images, "PERFORMED IMAGE" questions the essence of creative acts that have shifted from traditional manual creation to prompt engineering. Technical images are not merely visual expressions, but dynamic processes performed through the interaction between our bodies and hardware/software. We seek works that redefine "what an image is" through physical and perceptual interaction with digital technology, creating new aesthetic experiences.
