'Altermodernism' - Planetary negotiations/discussions between cultures
A new modernity is emerging, reconfiguring to an age of globalizaton. Understood in its economic, political and cultural aspects.
Increased communication, travel and migration are affecting the way we live. Our daily lives consist of journeys in a chaotic and teeming universe.
Multiculturalism and identity is being is being overtaken by creolization. Artists are now starting from a globalized state of culture.
This new universalism is based on translations, subtitling and generalized dubbing. Today's art explores the bonds that text and image, time and space weave between themselves.
''What matters today is to translate values of cultural groups and to connect them to the world network. This 'reloading' process of modernism according to 21 century issues could be called 'altermodernism' a movement connected to the creolization of cultures and the fight for autonomy, but also the possibility of producing singularities in a more and more standardized world.''
