This piece is by Ainaz Alupour from Skyway 2024: A Contemporary Collaborstion at the Ringling Museum of Art.

“Slap-eaters” is a multimedia installation where multichannel video, soft sculpture, and an XR environment converge to create an immersive experience. This piece navigates the dialogue between tangible and digital forms, forging a counter-narrative that delves into the relentless mental juggle of balancing immediate physical reality with the simultaneous digital reality that envelops us.”

Ainaz is one of the artists who submitted to our 2024 Studio Break Pro Competition, juried this year by Marc Mitchell , Curator and Director of exhibitions at the University of Arkansas. Please visit ainazalipour.com to dive into an archive of work and make sure to follow . Thanks so much for sharing your work with Studio Break Ainaz!
