Artists Jose Cruzio and Jorge Sellés exhibit work at the RE:KARYA 2023 International Video Festival in Java
International artists Jose Cruzio (Portugal) and Jorge Sellés (Spain) exhibit joint audiovisual work at the International Video Festival RE:KARYA 2023 in Java, capital of Indonesia.
A risky exhibition of audiovisual artistic works that is committed to the visibility and integration of creativity in the disciplines of video-art, digital art and audiovisual art as a response to the incipient problem presented by the current global chaos of individual perception, interpretation and performance. in new social and cultural structures. A directionless drift caused by the lack of common sense, courage, strength and commitment in decision-making to put people first in the processes of progress and development, respecting and protecting the natural world.
Task that involves enormous effort and work: reverse the physical and mental stigma so deeply rooted, with the systematic deception and politics of fear, in the DNA and damaged by ruthless selfishness and the false temporary reward of happiness; the immediate pleasure of the imperceptible addition that turns the subject-victim into a simple anesthetized consumer product that preserves perpetual frustration.
The changing realities of nature and society in our increasingly complex day and age have placed us in a system of chaos. The resulting complexity, which leads to unpredictability in the trajectories of both natural and social pendulum movements, confines us within this system. Chaos, in this context, can be understood as a state of disorder, confusion, uncertainty and instability that makes a system difficult to predict and manage.
The symptoms of this chaotic system are manifested through various phenomena occurring today, which include the social structures within communities, the mechanics of nature, the rapid pace of technology, the contestation of cultural discourse, the political power struggles, artistic and design aesthetics and even turmoil within the human mind and psychology. The confinement of chaos causes the macrocosmic and microcosmic dimensions of humanity to be in less desirable states. Humans are often in a "liminal" situation, a condition located "between" genuine and artificial reality. The role of AI will continue to grow as a representation of the extension of culture to participate in the satisfaction of human needs. The part of creators as igniters of art and culture is necessary to continue to contribute to evaluating new possibilities as AI develops. Although AI has created the standardization of necessary information, the presence of art and culture will continue to stimulate the birth of cultural innovation globally.
Re:Karya International Video Festival #2 invites participants and audiences to perceive chaos through their individual perspectives and interpretations. The choice of the audiovisual medium has its roots in its ability to serve as a vessel and tool to manifest the language of chaos of the participants. The artistic representation of chaos conveyed through visual movement and auditory elements is expected to accommodate the spectrum of diverse beliefs of the creators involved. These interpretations can further illustrate how we as humans, along with our inherent humanity, can respond to, reinterpret, see, reconcile, or even befriend chaos. Ultimately, the goal is to stop perceiving the chaotic system as just "chaos." We celebrate chaos as an integral part of the joyous process of every human being's life.
