Art beyond the frame

0:00

In a world driven by technology, art is

0:03

evolving fast. Coded, immersive, and

0:06

alive, it's breaking free of the frame.

0:09

And in places like Dubai, this brave new

0:12

frontier is taking shape.

0:16

My heritage and my background as an

0:18

Emirati provides me with content for my

0:22

artwork because in order to produce

0:25

authentic artwork, you need to have

0:27

lived experience.

0:29

My artwork takes you through a specific

0:33

time period in the Gulf in the early

0:35

2000s.

0:37

I wanted to use the internet itself as a

0:39

medium. I wanted to highlight my own

0:41

people's internet culture which I deeply

0:44

connect with and I grew up on and it had

0:46

a major influence in the sort of artwork

0:48

that I ended up creating.

0:51

I love humor and I love it the most when

0:53

it's done like cleverly with artwork,

0:57

culture

0:59

and the internet. These are things I'm

1:01

both very passionate about.

For centuries, art has captured the

human story.
