AFTERSHOCK IS INSPIRED BY THE CONSEQUENCES OF SEVERAL BRUTAL TOPOLOGICAL SHOCKS. EXPLORING THE AMBIGUITY OF REALISM IN POST-HUMAN LANDSCAPES
Every day, art breaks away from the ties that might inhibit its freedom; videocreation arises as one of the most heretics regarding this iconoclast will. Therefore, it becomes a difficult task the static and orthodox classification of genres and subgenres within the contemporary video art production, because we know, above all, how fast they can derive into theoretical obsolescence. However, videoart- as I insist to call this vast field of so diverse morphologies- is still a magnetized challenge to those of us who approach it with other intentions rather than just pleasure.
The exhibit for this occasion which has been structured from FIVAC’s archive, specifically from the space “La Próxima Resistencia”- is intended to go over a particular imagery resulting from different animation techniques. It is very suggestive to notice how behind all artworks- despite the substantial differences among them- there underlies the dissension towards the confines of reality; a reality so many times referred to, so many times depicted, so many times documented, but that never stops being the reality itself.
