The Distance of blue
An Invitation to Participate in The Distance of Blue Exhibition Pavilion As Part of The Wrong Biennale 7th Edition that runs from Nov 1, 2025, until Mar 31, 2026.
“Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.”—Rebecca Solnit
“The Distance of Blue” explores the ocean as a metaphor for longing, displacement, and transformation, inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s The Blue of Distance. Blue is the color of the unreachable, the in-between, the threshold between memory and the unknown. By embracing the ocean as a space of speculation, The Distance of Blue seeks to blur the lines between natural and artificial, familiar and foreign, past and future. This exhibition invites artists to engage with the ocean’s vastness, power, fluidity, and mystery as well as to question the distances that shape our identities, histories, and relationships.This exhibition welcomes a wide range of digital works from video, image, sound, text, and AI-influenced art to project documentation that explores blue as both a physical presence and an emotional resonance. Artificial intelligence may play a role, but it is not required as we seek to create a space where digital art navigates the unknown in all its forms.The Distance of Blue is looking for work that explores/reflects on questions such as:
How do digital/machine-based interpretations of nature reshape our understanding of distance, memory, and belonging?
What happens when technology encounters the organic, the fluid, the untamed?
Can digital art capture the feeling of standing at the edge of the horizon?
Can technology reimagine the ocean’s depth, its movement, and its stories?
If the world were an endless ocean, what stories would it carry?
What does blue mean in the digital age?
