Fakewhale Newsletter Issue #21

Hello,

Welcome to issue #21 of the Fakewhale Newsletter!

Mark your calendars for the launch of “ART MARKET: The State of Digital Humanism”, a release on Foundation featuring over 50 artists going live this Wednesday, September 25th.

ART MARKET x FOUNDATION | THE STATE OF DIGITAL HUMANISM

After the successful debut of the ART MARKET format on Foundation, on Wednesday, September 25th, Fakewhale proudly presents the second chapter of the ART MARKET on Foundation with “ART MARKET: The State of Digital Humanism”.

Featuring a variety of different artistic styles and subject matters, this exhibition explores the essence of what it means to be human in an age where technology is an extension of our minds and bodies: a mirror reflecting our desires, fears, and aspirations.

How does technology shape our understanding of ourselves and others? What does it mean to be authentically human when our expressions are filtered through screens and algorithms?

Learn all about the release and its dynamics, and start exploring the works part of the exhibition before the official launch in our latest curatorial article ⬇️

INTERVIEWS

In an interview with Fakewhale, multimedia artist Nestor Siré shares how his work explores and documents alternative content distribution networks like the "Paquete Semanal" and "SNET," focusing on the intersection of technology, society, and creativity in contexts of scarcity.

“The Paquete Semanal is one of the most fascinating phenomena in the Cuban alternative digital landscape. It functions as an informal network for distributing digital content that naturally arose as a response to ongoing internet access restrictions imposed by the Cuban government. It also emerged due to specific conditions and access to media technology, popular entertainment, and the informal economy, as well as the convergence of particular socio-economic conditions, both local and global.”
