The project explores human existence and survival at the intersection of history and future, physical experience, and digital input. Inspired by the artist's latest work with AI and drawing technology, it blends historical images of ex-voto ship graffiti found on Mediterranean wayside chapels. Attard's project for the Malta Pavilion uses technological devices to engage spectators in digital interaction and collective speculation about the future. These unique ship graffiti from Malta resonate with cultures whose sea relationship remains crucial, reflecting on climate change, rising sea levels, and our place in a hyper-technological world. These humble marks of hope, deeply embedded in human consciousness, reveal what hides behind screens and beliefs.
