Share Prize Sincerity
The Share Festival international jury for 2017: Massimo Banzi, Sheldon Brown, Angelo ‘Motor’ Comino, Jasmina Tesanovic and Bruce Sterling – chose six works that, although they are technically complex, are lucid and emotionally clear. We have artworks from around the world that include a jar that expresses shyness, a love that struggles with static and digital decay, knives that stay alive, interactive rooms with breathing room, and multimedia that sleeps on the beach at sunrise.

Irina’s Sunrise & Coney Island
Lynn Bianchi (US)
Irina’s Sunrise was developed as a sort of visual poem, or as an ode to our inner sense of beginning. In Coney Island Allison I play with the concepts of reality and non reality, questioning the elusive nature of images as documentation of both facts and ideas.
