Abstract
Organized by Diriyah Art Futures, the first New Media Arts hub in the Middle East and North Africa region, Maknana offers a unique lens into the intersection of art and technology within the Arab world, inviting reflection on both the past and future of artistic expression in a rapidly changing landscape. Maknana is a homage to the collective journey of Arab New Media artists who have found ways to navigate, adapt, and repurpose global technological trends to reflect their unique perspectives. The artists featured in the book have worked at the intersections of digital and physical realms, often questioning the boundaries between public and private, local and global. Bringing together diverse works by more than fifty Arab New Media artists, Maknana offers a unique and unprecedented exploration of the region’s engagement with contemporary technologies as artistic tools.
