beyond interface and prompt

Technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, from the way we communicate to how we create and experience art. Advances in AI, digital, and interactive systems are constantly pushing creative boundaries.

Beyond Interface and Prompt is a forthcoming juried multimedia art exhibition that explores how technology transcends its role as a mere tool to become a dynamic medium in contemporary art. We invite artists across all disciplines to consider how digital interfaces, AI, interactive systems, and etc. can reshape creative expression and audience perception. The exhibition aims to showcase works that move beyond traditional boundaries — beyond the screen interface and beyond the simple text prompt — to create innovative and experimental experiences. In this show, technology is not just about using new tools, but about rethinking the very fabric of artmaking.

While we welcome submissions in all mediums, works that integrate technology in concept or execution will be given priority in the jury’s selection and up to $500 in creative awards.

We encourage entries that engage with mediums such as tech-driven installation, interactivity, mixed-reality, AI generative art, 3D printing, audio-visual environments, or any form of artistic experimentation where technology plays a central role.

The exhibition takes place at the non-profit organization – Williamsburg Art & Historical Center, aka WAH Center, a 19th-century landmark that has witnessed the evolution of art and technology across generations. By embracing new media and forward-thinking approaches, the WAH Center merges its historic legacy with art’s innovative future.
