OCTOBER 5 @ 10:00 - 12:00 The Digital Panopticon Arthall Gozo 8, triq Agius de Soldanis, Victoria, Malta Arteaportè opens a new frontier in con- temporary art and lands in Gozo, Malta, with an international exhibition organised in collaboration with ArtHall Gallery. The exclusive space Con/ Temporary Spaces ArtHall will host the group exhibition The Digital Panop- ticon: Please, Watch Me!, an artistic investigation into the digital present and contemporary identity, which is increas- ingly exposed, observed, and filtered.

Today, this model of surveillance has been internalised, transforming into a voluntary desire for total exposure. In an era dominated by radical transparency, smart technologies, and artificial intelli- gence, what does it mean to be human? What is the cost of full visibility and absolute efficiency?

The name is probably derived from that of an Arabic-Greek family that moved to Gozo from Sicily. Ta' Sannat is best known for the Ta' Cenc plateau on the edge of the village and its spectacular Ta' Cenc cliffs, the highest cliffs in Gozo. The plateau is typical Maltese garigue rich in flora and fuana. It is also the site of a number of prehistoric remains, including sparse remnants of L-Imramma Temple and three dolmens (made up of, a roughly shaped horizontal limestone slab supported on three sides by blocks of stone standing on end). The plateau overlooks the Hanżira valley, a natural gorge with steep rocky sides separating Ta' Sannat from the village of ix-Xewkija, of which there are excellent views. 2 gozotoday | FRIDAY • 3 OCTOBER 2025 EVENTS
