(www.neonomadproject.com) concept: artists exploring traditional and contemporary nomadic experience through new media neo nomad project consists of series of multi-media exhibitions, screenings, and presentations that evolve around the notion of traditional and digital nomadism and aesthetics connected to nomadic experiences. The project explores the relationship between traditional nomadic cultures of Central Asia and Middle East, as well as other geographies in terms of conditions and realities of migration, globalization and hyper mobility. neo nomad project focuses on artistic researches and projects in the same frequency and unpredictability. For accumulative production, more production drives more input. Therefore, the project is an attempt to build a network architecture, which enables jumps from one node to another by gathering content from diverse sources through artistic research and practice. To grasp and compare different realities of diverse locations, cases, positions and situations would enrich this project. It will be an accumulative process, which concentrates on strong content and criticality in the research-based art works, conveyed through the use of advanced technologies. neo nomad project site will develop content in time by documenting all editions of the exhibitions, screenings, activities, presentations, concepts, and the development of the entire project. curator Basak Senova, Ph.D. is a curator of the neo nomad project.
