Art up close, living art. Cicle d’Arts Digitals de Vic (CADVic) celebrates its third edition consolidating the critical and non-conformist views of digital technologies. This annual meeting does not attempt to be a mere showcase of art based on technology, but rather a space for dialogue and creativity in which the emphasis is on art and not on the digital. This year’s motto, Art up close, living art, examines digital art which avoids large productions, approaching the artist as an artisan, and the artwork as that which communicates to us and moves us.
Following this line, CAD25 introduces L’espai obert ( The open space) as a living exhibition proposal in more than one sense. First of all, because there are artworks which are not necessarily finished, but which are presented either in an embryonic stage of creation, or as ever-changing proposals. Examples of these works are the Untitled artwork by Marta Royo, or ECIL from the DARTS group and Bernat Romagosa. Secondly, it is also living because two of the artworks originated in the CAD25 meeting itself, and are presently in the creation phase while the exhibition is taking shape. Guided by artists Tim Cowlishaw, Enric Mor, and Andrés Costa, the participants in the Laboratori Crític d’Intel·ligència Artificial i Arts Digital(Critical Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Arts) present two of their collective artworks in the exhibition. And finally, because of Eugenio Tisselli’s Manifest de l’art anti-modern (Manifesto of Anti-modern Art) which is an appeal to life, presented in the exhibition as a mirror that highlights many of the current contradictions of digital art.
This project showcase aims to be a choral representation of diverse perspectives. It is close-up art because these are artworks in constant process, made to be seen in detail, to be touched, and in some cases intended to invite the viewer to modify, alter, and make their own. CADVic invites you to maintain this proximity and, also, this life.
