ARTFUTURA XXI. REVIEWING THE FUTURE

It all moves so quickly now… These days it al l changes… Nothing stable, nothing static. Nothing to stand on or to cling to… No maps for these territories, though they are of our own creation… No myths for these countries of the mind… Accelerating constantly, toward some null point of post-humanity… We are no more able to imagine the world of our grandchildren than they will be able to imagine ours.

When we were only several hundred hundred thousand years old we built stone circles water-clocks, later someone forged an iron spring, set clockwork running, imagined grid-lines on a globe. Cathedrals are machines defining the soul. The bells of clock-towers stiched the sleepers’ dreams together, you see, so we have always been on our way to this new place that is no place really but is real.

It’s in our nature to represent.  We are the animal that represents, the sole and only maker of maps. And if our weakness has been to confuse the bright and bloody colors of our calendars with the true weather of days, and the parchment territories of our maps with the land spread out before us…

Never mind.

William Gibson

 

ArtFutura XXI is a journey through the evolution of digital art and culture in the last two decades and its projection in the 21st Century. From Virtual Reality to the Internet explosion and the current era of Social Networks, ArtFutura has created a space of constant speculation about the role of technology in society, culture and art. An exploration of the most important projects and ideas emerged in the international panorama of new media, interactive design, videogames and digital animation.
