It’s a fact that computer and smartphone screens
have become the main medium through which images and videos are shared, thus
redefining the relationship between the public and the artwork.
Through the use of virtual reality (VR), CGI images,
video games, videos and films; young artists influenced by the changes brought
about by the digital revolution, face important and current issues here: gender
identity, the boundary between real and virtual, memory and its value, the
relationship between man and animal, the normalization of violence and much
more.
An exhibition made of moving images and
interesting reflections on the modern world, that everyone can appreciate.
