About Media Art Nexus (MAN)

Media Art Nexus (MAN) is an initiative that transforms urban spaces into dynamic digital canvases, fostering a dialogue between art, technology, and public engagement. Co-founded by Prof. Ina Conradi and Mark Chavez, the project is dedicated to curating, producing, and exhibiting media art at the intersection of innovation, storytelling, and cutting-edge visual aesthetics.

OUR VISION

We believe in the power of large-scale media art to reshape public interactions, disrupt traditional gallery constraints, and create immersive experiences that blend artistic expression with technological advancements. Through collaborative projects, we provide a platform for emerging and established artists to experiment with digital narratives, spatial storytelling, and generative AI techniques.
