Descripción

Third World: The Bottom Dimension is an experimental exhibition, video game and web3 tokens led by artist Gabriel Massan (b.1996, Nilópolis, Brazil) with Serpentine Arts Technologies.

The project convenes and platforms a vital generation of interdisciplinary, queer, Afro-diasporic Brazilian artists. Massan combines storytelling and world-building techniques to create virtual ecosystems and digital sculptures that simulate and narrate stories from Black Brazilian experience. Driven by a desire to ‘reveal rather than replicate systems of inequality’ while instigating change, their work investigates how the so-called ‘Third World’ – an oensive and imposed classication for non-industrialised, developing nations – is imagined by the West.

Third World: The Bottom Dimension arose from the artist’s own concerns regarding the fragility of the future. It has been in development since 2021, amidst a period that saw a huge political shift in Brazil, with the fall of the far-right Jair Bolsonaro regime, and the re-election of centre-leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Across its various parts, the project gathers responses to what Massan calls our contemporary ‘state of emergence’ and uses digital technologies to nurture and distribute a constellation of perspectives and foster change.
