We live in an era where extreme individualism is increasingly prevalent. Our digital devices are tailored to emphasise this. Laptop folders are labeled “My Computer,” and even our cell phones—often dubbed “iPhone” to emphasise the self—are designed more for consuming algorithm-curated content than for nurturing meaningful communication. Dot-to-Dot stands in opposition to this growing isolation. The seven artists in this exhibition have chosen to collaborate on a project that emphasises connection and interdependence. At the heart of the project is a video bearing the same title, in which each artist contributes a series of moving images captured with a camera, which is then passed on to the next participant. The camera serves as a conduit of contact, linking the artist filming to their subject, while simultaneously connecting the previous and subsequent contributors in a chain of events. This collaboration celebrates a collective approach without compromising each artist’s individuality. Through the interactions captured in the video, the piece creates a space for self-expression and exploration, where the aesthetics of ordinary gestures blur the lines between art and life. Dot-to-Dot is a collective endeavour, where the artistic process takes precedence over the final product. In this context, the finished work becomes a site for interaction between the artists and the audience, providing a platform for shared creative experience. The exhibition title draws on the concept of a children’s puzzle, where connecting sequentially numbered dots reveals a hidden image, symbolising the connections forged through this artistic collaboration.

All artists currently live in Barcelona and are enrolled at Metàfora Studio Arts.
