Nourathar

Where contemporary art meets technology through light, matter and experimentation

Nourathar is a documentary that examines the evolving relationship between nature, art and technology through the creative practices of a group of young contemporary artists. The title itself combines the notions of essence and light, a semantic construction that frames the film’s approach and thematic focus. This conceptual foundation opens the door to a series of artistic experiences in which technology is not merely a tool but an integral part of the creative process.

The film follows artists working across multiple disciplines, including graphic art, animation, film, theatre, sculpture and robotics. Each of them applies and reinterprets contemporary technologies to produce artworks that are both formally inventive and thematically provocative. Despite the diversity of mediums, they share a strong awareness of the physical presence of the artwork, an attention to materiality that allows ideas to emerge through form, texture and light rather than abstraction alone.

By observing these creative processes, Nourathar becomes a poetic investigation into current technological trends within the visual arts. It also raises broader questions about how these technologies extend beyond artistic practice and influence everyday life. Through its exploration of globalisation, human interaction and the growing presence of virtual environments, the documentary reflects on the new expressive possibilities available to artists and on the ways human beings relate to the world that surrounds them.
