Motto: It is the beginning of everything, and also the continuation of everything, and finally the end of everything. And then everything starts all over again.

In addition to the motto, my curatorial premise is to examine social movements not only in aspects of history, but also of the present.Why we often make the same mistake, only to start almost everything over again.It is a kind of cycle of beginning, end and beginning again that interests me. In it, I explore the relationship between the individual and the community.

The exhibition itself will be presented within the framework of new media art, in the style of The Wrong Biennale: installations, digital works, videos, photographs.

Marcos Bonisson & Khalil Charif - Tupianas (1977-2016)

This moving image work is an assembly of Super 8 footage filmed in many different places in Brazil during the 70's. It's a reflection about the idea of Tupi, the great native nation of inhabitants who lived in this vast solar territory, before the white men arrived – the Tupis-Guaranis called it Pindorama (land of the palm trees). The film work elaborates a non-linear narrative with a collage of "antropofagic images", presenting the body and space as topology of desires, dreams and a convulsive social device of changes – "Tupi or not to Be" (José Celso Martinez / Oswald de Andrade), experimenting the choice in life, and language of the essential, instead of the accessory.

Jean-Michel Rolland - Body Limits II 

Body Limits II is a series of video works that use dance video recordings chosen on the Internet.

The multiplication of bodies and the transformations carried out on colors and speed turn these recordings into video artworks where the border between figuration and abstraction is called into question.

The original soundtracks have been preserved. Slowed down to the same speed as the image and enriched by several effects, they contribute to the aesthetics of these détournements.

The body, pushed to its limits, is transcended to give life to new representations of physical activity.

Unidentified

The flow evokes the unknown, intangible things that humanity has always faced. The aim of the work is to make viewers think about the mysteries of the universe and the limits of science. The power inherent in it evokes the intangible energies of the cosmos, depicting a previously unknown primordial element. But what lies beyond physical reality? Are there dimensions where forms and contents are in constant motion and change, just as liquid swirls? How do you think we can put into words things that are unidentifiable and intangible? The concept I represent suggests that reality is much more complex than what we can perceive with our senses. Do you believe that art can also contribute to scientific discoveries?

The Future of Something (2023)

The Future of Something (2023) takes a deep dive into the human anxieties framing an AI-driven world. Across the morphing vignettes of seven AI-generated human support groups—ranging from couples therapy to robot love tensions, online poker addicts to content creators anonymous—the video deftly navigates familiar fears of machinic displacement of the self through the heightened drama of parody. Here we watch hallucinated influencers in crisis, unable to compete with the indifferent gaze of an artificial intelligence that doesn't care about authenticity or creativity. As the humans band together to console each other in group survival mode, some individuals manipulate the counseling sessions to hawk their Youtube channels and for-sale tricks to beat the AI system, ultimately trumping the idea of a superior human morality. Seated at the height of humanity's fears of a technological takeover, The Future of Something suggests that the real threat in the room may not be the machinic other, but something more human after all.
