. . . we keep hearing the art scenes in SPAIN & PORTUGAL – are very hot !!! BERLIN – WATCH OUT !!!! <\/p>\n

. . . now comes buzz across the big pond – of – ‘MACHINES&SOULS’ – a subject newly<\/em> dear to our hearts !! <\/p>\n

. . . from the press release:
\n“The exhibit ‘Machines&Souls’ – ‘Digital Art and New Media’ explores the convergence of art, science and technology. The idea is to further investigate the fact that, in the early 21st Century, art and science flow along parallel channels through the work of a group of artists chosen for their ability to combine art, technology, creativity, mystery, emotion and beauty….<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhibition includes the work of 17 artists, who were selected for their ability to combine art and science, creativity, emotion and mystery. They have multiple characteristics in common and very different career histories. They share a long career, the fact that they are highly respected in their fields and a creative maturity found in those who have developed their work over time. They differ from each other in age, educational background, the materials they use and the working methods they employ, but they all use digital technology as a tool. They use it in a variety of ways – as a supporting structure, as a developing element, as a research tool or as a springboard to new sensibilities. Although, as the co-exhibition curator Montoxo Algora reflects, ‘on their own, their computers do not create. And without the emotion and creativity of its authors, digital art is nothing’….<\/p>\n

The tremendous diversity of their works is very representative of digital art, a field still in its infancy and with enormous potential.”<\/p>\n

\nAntoni Abad (Spain, 1956)
