SIDAPFEST 2024

SIDAPFEST (Semarang International Digital Art Painting Festival) #2 held by Universitas Negeri Semarang carries the theme OBAH. OBAH is a Javanese diction that can be interpreted as "movement" in Indonesian. This festival also carries OBAH because it can represent change. Both from the spirit of art, technology, and the techniques and media used. The very rapid movement of technology has changed art. Starting with traditional manual techniques, modern, to using modern devices until the emergence of digital art painting techniques. The emergence of AI also encourages artists to create art much more optimally.

The "OBAH [Contemplating Through Digital Art Post AI]" exhibition raises the concept of constant movement in the world of digital art, especially with the presence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. AI has brought significant changes in the way artists create, process, and interact with works of art. The debate about the impact of AI on digital art is very relevant and profound, covering various aspects from the advantages to the disadvantages that artists may face. The goal is to invite artists and appreciators to reflect on and discuss the role of AI in digital art. Is AI a tool that is beneficial or detrimental to artists? Through the works on display, visitors can see various perspectives and explore this debate. This exhibition is a space for contemplation, innovation, and ongoing dialogue about the future of art in an ever-moving digital age.
