Open Screen is arebyte’s yearly worldwide open call for digital artists who self-identify as disabled. ⁠Developed in partnership with Shape Arts as part of arebyte on Screen online art programme, the initiative aims to address an area of underrepresentation in the art industry, with works exploring the role of digital technologies and the new opportunities it creates or hinders. 

For the 2nd iteration of Open Screen, 75 artists have entered the open call launched in January 2022 with digital work responding to arebyte’s 2022 theme Sci-Fi. The three submissions selected by the 2022 panel and arebyte’s curatorial team are:

CRIP FANTASY by Natalee Decker. A collection of digital work about assistive technologies and the bodies which employ them.

PROLOGUE_VERSION_01 by Milad Forouzandeh. A project that creates a new ecosystem, in both a virtual and the real world that includes trans-humans, plants and animals with upgraded genomes and new capabilities.

PΛNΛCΞΛ by MH Sarkis. An experimental short film that blends CGI and real imagery into a post-apocalyptic vision of a speculative Levantine future.
