‫هيئة الفنون البصرية تُعلن عن تمثيل الفنانة “منال الضويان” للمملكة في بينالي البندقية.. العام القادم

الفنانة منال الضويان في البندقية، ٢٠٢٣. بإذن من الفنانة وهيئة الفنون البصرية مفوض الجناح الوطني السعوديالرياض –  21 نوفمبر 2023

تُشارك المملكة العربية السعودية في الدورة الستين لمعرض الفنون الدولي – بينالي البندقية التي ستُقام في الفترة من 20 أبريل إلى 24 نوفمبر من العام المُقبل، من خلال الجناح الوطني السعودي الدائم في قاعات الأسلحة بمجمّع الأرسينالي في مدينة البندقية بجمهورية إيطاليا، بتكليف هيئة الفنون البصرية، وتُمثل الفنانة منال الضويان المملكة في هذا الحدث الدولي.

وقالت الرئيس التنفيذي لهيئة الفنون البصرية دينا أمين عن هذه المشاركة: “يتمثل هدفنا في هيئة الفنون البصرية في إبراز المواهب السعودية ورعايتها وإبرازها والاحتفاء بها على المستويات المحلية والإقليمية والدولية. وبهذا نفخر بتقديم أعمال منال الضويان في معرض الفنون الدولي – بينالي البندقية الذي يُعدّ من أهم المنصات الدولية للتبادل”.

وعلّقت الفنانة منال الضويان حول اختيارها لتمثيل المملكة قائلة: “على مدى العقدين الماضيين، أتاحت لي مقاربتي الفنية إمكانية المشاركة في التحولات الجارية في بلدي. وأرى في بينالي البندقية للفنون فرصة نادرة لتقديم ممارستي الفنية كما أصبحت عليه اليوم ضمن سياق المجتمع والبلد والعالم الذي أعيش فيه”.

وتُعتبر “الضويان” واحدة من أهم الفنانين المعاصرين السعوديين الذين يعملون على المستوى الدولي. وتستخدم مختلف الوسائط الفنية كالتصوير الفوتوغرافي، والتسجيلات الصوتية، والمجسّمات، والتشارك الاجتماعي، وتتناول في أعمالها قضايا التقاليد، والذاكرة الجماعية، ومكانة المرأة، وتمثيلها. وتُلقي نظرةً نقديةً على التحولات الثقافية والاجتماعية التي تشهدها المملكة، كما وتجوب في عملها عبر المساحات التي تتداخل فيها الأبعاد الشخصية والمجتمعية، مستكشفةً موضوعات الاختفاء والنسيان المتعمَّد والذاكرة الجماعية.

ولقِيَت أعمالُها على مدى مسيرتها الفنية الطويلة صدىً واسعاً لدى الجمهور من جميع أنحاء العالم، وكان لها أثر كبير في تعزيز الترابط والتفاعل والمشاركة. وتشتهر “الضويان” بأعمالها التركيبية التشاركية الاجتماعية، مثل عمل “في الهوا سوا” (2011م)، وعمل “اسمي” (2012م)، التي تُنشِئُها انطلاقاً من ورشات عملٍ تفتح قنوات التواصل بين آلاف النساء في المملكة، وتتناول قضايا العادات الاجتماعية المرتبطة بوضع المرأة في المملكة والمنطقة.

وأنشأت “الضويان” مؤخراً عملاً أدائياً بعنوان: “من الأطلال تزدهر الأفكار” في متحف سولومون جوجنهايم بنيويورك، دعت فيه الزوار للتنقل في فضاءٍ تنتصب فيه أعمدةٌ وُضعت عليها لفائفُ خزفية تضم نصوصاً وصوراً للسرديات التي استندت إليها البُنى الاجتماعية في تعاملها مع المرأة لأجيالٍ وأجيال. ومن ثم طلبت من الزوار المشاركة في بادرة جماعية حاسمة للاحتجاج من خلال تكسير اللفائف، في محاولة لتجريد الكلمات والصور من قوتها، والتشجيع على التضامن بدل التشرذم، وإبراز الحاجة إلى اعتماد مقاربة متعددة الأقطاب لمساعدة النساء والفتيات في جميع أنحاء العالم.

وتُعد هذه المشاركة ثاني تكليف لهيئة الفنون البصرية في بينالي البندقية ضمن أربعة مشاركات للجناح السعودي، وستكون ثالث مرةٍ تُمثل فيها امرأة بلدها بمعرض الفنون الدولي. وسيجري الإعلان عن مفهوم العمل التركيبي الذي تنوي “الضويان” إنشاءه والتفاصيل الإضافية في مرحلةٍ لاحقة، والذي سيعكس من خلاله الجناح الوطني السعودي موضوع البينالي: “أجانب أينما حللنا”، تحت إشراف أدريانو بيدروسا، الذي يدعو الفنانين إلى النظر في الاختلافات والفوارق المتأتّية من الهوية والجنسية والعرق.

بتكليف هيئة الفنون البصرية، تُمثل الفنانة منال الضويان المملكة العربية السعودية في الجناح الوطني السعودي من 20 أبريل إلى 24 نوفمبر.

Pixalate Launches “Made For Advertising” (MFA) Detection and Blocking Technology for Websites, Connected TV & Mobile Apps

New feature delivers continuous monitoring and rating of 100+ million web domains, CTV and mobile apps assigning a high, medium, or low MFA risk assessment

London, UK, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pixalate, the global market-leading ad fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform, today announced the launch of  “Made for Advertising” (MFA) technology to detect and block MFA websites, CTV and mobile apps. Pixalate’s MFA solution rates websites, CTV and mobile apps with a high, medium, or low MFA risk; this new feature is available in Beta across the Pixalate product suite.

Pixalate’s MFA detection technology models historical open programmatic transaction data across all apps, pages and URLs; an October 2023 MFA Pixalate assessment deemed over 15K MFA websites and apps high risk. MFA websites and apps can feature intrusive advertising techniques like pop-up ads, auto-play videos, or ads restricting access to content, often resulting in a poor advertising-to-attention ratio.

With the release of this new feature, Pixalate addresses the nuances of MFA in CTV and mobile apps by incorporating metrics beyond ad refresh and ad density to include the age of the app, invalid traffic (IVT) rates, user ratings, and popularity rankings. Pixalate uses statistical techniques such as Univariate/Multivariate Descriptive and Gaussian curve analysis to assign high, medium, or low MFA risk to websites, CTV, and mobile apps.

Pixalate’s MFA risk assessment technology uses the following data points, enabling ad buyers to adjust their MFA risk threshold:

Connected TV App MFA Risk Definition and Criteria  

  • MFA Risk: Pixalate’s assessment of the risk (High, Medium or Low) of the CTV app being deemed MFA
    • Ad Refresh Rate: Number of ad impressions observed per device, per hour
    • Age:  Age of the app on the App Store
    • IVT: IVT% of the App across regions
    • Popularity Score: Pixalate’s popularity score for the app
    • Reviews: Number of Reviews

Mobile App MFA Risk Definition and Criteria 

  • MFA Risk: Pixalate’s assessment of the risk (High, Medium or Low) of the mobile app being deemed MFA
    • Ad Refresh Rate: Number of ad impressions observed per device per hour
    • Age:  Age of the app on the App Store
    • IVT: IVT% of the app across regions
    • Popularity: Pixalate’s popularity score for the app
    • Reviews: Number of Reviews

Website MFA Risk Definition and Criteria

  • MFA Risk: Pixalate’s assessment of the risk (High, Med or Low) of the website being deemed MFA
    • Ad Density Rate: Number of ad placements observed per device, per minute
    • Ad Refresh Rate: Number of ad impressions observed per device, per minute
    • Paid Traffic Rate: Volume of traffic sourced via paid (ad) sources
    • Social Traffic Rate: Volume of traffic sourced via social media

Examples of Made for Advertising in Websites, CTV and Mobile Apps: 

MFA Mobile App Example: MFA observed by Pixalate in mobile app shows ads blocking the apps’ content, promoting unqualified clicks from users therefore impeding the implied app functionality.

MFA CTV App Example: Pixalate observed a MFA CTV app presenting small thumbnail-sized video ads instead of full-screen ads. The videos run back-to-back, muted, and constantly in a corner of the screen overlaid on the intended CTV content.

MFA Website Example: The example MFA website met Pixalate’s criteria for MFA based on the number of ad placements, ad refresh rate, and traffic source types.

MFA Detection and Real-time Blocking:

  • MFA Blocking Technology: Distinct Data Feeds for MFA mobile apps, CTV apps, and websites
    • Segmented by medium- and high-risk
    • Available via API or FTP for high performance and low latency
  • MFA Risk Assessment in the Media Ratings Terminal: Pixalate’s ad supply chain intelligence tool, the Media Ratings Terminal (MRT), now includes MFA risk assessments
  • MFA Reports in Analytics Dashboard: Pixalate’s post-bid analytics dashboard will provide clients insight into the impact of MFA websites and apps on their first-party traffic
  • MFA insights via APIs: The Enrichment API within Pixalate’s self-service Ad Trust and Safety API suite now includes MFA insights associated with the websites, mobile and CTV apps. Insights include the overall MFA Risk rating and the details impacting MFA risk such as Ad Density, Ad Refresh Rate, App Age, Paid Traffic, etc.
