Curated by Miguel Gonzalez, NWSA faculty, Techno-Graphies explores the intersection of place, identity, and digital culture through the lens of contemporary art. Inspired by the aesthetics and ethos of techno—its rhythms, underground roots, and spatial dynamics—the exhibition presents works that map physical and virtual terrains shaped by technology.
