A pioneering institution promoting video glitch art in Iran and beyond, Platform 101 is finalizing one of the longest-running international video art exhibitions in the Middle East. Titled “Vol.05: Hidden Geometry & Glitch Art,” it’s the fifth edition of the international event organized by Platform 101, which allows the visitors to explore innovative glitch esthetics presented by talented artists from around the world.
“Vol.05: Hidden Geometry & Glitch Art,” which runs at Rischee29 Art Gallery in Tehran, Iran, is a new page in the activities of Platform 101, a non-profit art organization committed to the promotion of video and glitch art. The entity persistently builds a structured community of contemporary interdisciplinary artists to give form to a once fragmented and sporadic video art movement in Iran and the Middle East. The main activities of Platform 101 revolve around promoting a meaningful dialog in local and international digital art.
The organization’s primary interest lies in the promotion of glitch art, a novel approach to interrogating the boundaries of traditional art esthetics through the exploration of semantic implications of disorder, collapse, and chaos. Platform 101’s projects focus on artwork that aims to embrace discontinuity and destruction and present it through an innovative digital pixel structure.
The exhibition, organized by Platform 101 and curated by Mohammad Ali Famori, has attracted 21 established and emerging video artists from 13 countries, including Iran, South Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Peru, Argentina, France, Italy, Japan, and the USA. The list of participants includes Ali Ettehad, Sadegh Majlesi, Shon Kim, Abarca, Claude Ciccolella, Arezou Ramezani, Jorge Flores (FRQNXY), Hiroya Sakurai, Kaoru Tanaka, Arash Masoom, Diyufang, Muriel Paraboni, Niloufar Baniasadi, Reza Famori, Franco Palliof, Eddie Lohmeyer, Melissa Faivre, Matteo Campulla, Franz Rosati, Yannet Villela Medina, and Melisa Valipour.
If you are a fan of interdisciplinary video art, take your chance to explore the variety of shades in glitch esthetics by visiting “Vol.05: Hidden Geometry & Glitch Art” before its grand closing on April 17, 2025. The event is a notable milestone in contemporary video glitch art’s visibility in the region and across the globe. Rischee29 Art Gallery is located at No 31, Aghabozorgi Street, Fereshteh Street, Tehran, Iran.
