Wild Bits is an exhibition concept that proposes a temporary art park in the wilderness. The exhibition seeks points of contact between people, technology, and nature. This open call, invites proposals for installations, interventions, or processes to be placed in natural landscapes that explore the human condition in a contemporary technological society. The artworks should be able to withstand outdoor conditions. We encourage artists to consider energy-sustainable solutions, such as alternative sources (e.g., solar panels), and to be as economical as possible.
