The works of these artists take place in a new universe, in which the symbiosis of electrical, electromagnetic, electronic, and nanometric technologies with new synthetic materials and digital languages is allowed. This occasions a radical shift, and a sort of appearance of a second human reality, in the interior of which there occurs a radical change in the principles of sensation, perception, interpretation, information, representation, and language. Cerveira Pinto points out that, unlike the digital exhibitionism featured by some approaches by art to the new technologies, the art arising from post-contemporary complexity does not focus on the forms spawned by technology, but focuses rather on the worlds that are possible for a humanity surrounded by technology though also threatened by energy exhaustion and serious environmental imbalances. The works and documents assembled in this exhibition underline the cognitive, interactive, collective, and collaborative value of a new kind of art today. They bear witness to a way of making art that embodies both scientific curiosity and the poetical formulation of a new type of knowledge.
