The dichotomy of present-day life, interwoven as it is with electricity, is becoming increasingly entangled in its own energy loop amidst the constant quest for the “green breakthrough”. The unbearable lightness of green being is sinking ever deeper into the quicksand of its own perdition, for it is becoming obvious that green – “how we want it green” – is at its core unable (as yet) to come up with an appropriate answer to what should truly worry us: what to do with all the electricity storage devices going to waste, the car batteries and lithium-ion batteries, once their useful life – which is naturally not infinite – ends.
From connected devices, social networks and global communication platforms, to online communities and virtual reality, networks and grids have become an inevitable part of our everyday lives. All of this has an impact on our identities, relationships, artistic creation, and social interaction.
This year's Pixxelpoint explores the ways in which life on the grid is reflected in intermedia art. Through diverse artistic expressions, we seek to reveal how networks and grids shape our perception of the world, how social dynamics evolve, and how artists express themselves in the digital environment. We can no longer imagine life without electricity.
