International ArtExpo - 2010

Liquid Cities is an exciting show of video-art, a form of art which is also itself a kind of liquid architecture, very closed to the fluidity, transparency and vagueness of the inner life. Our post-literary age, already fascinated by the ’liquid architecture in cyberspace’ (Marcos Novak), liquid identities and everyday liquid contacts between people, is focused on lightweight infrastructures in motion, the ’musical’ structures of light, sound and colours, the ability to transform visual arts into urbanism shows or the real need to sense the reality as a fluid network of individuals, art and technology. (Constantin Severin)

Temporary Identities is a show of video-art works based on the concept of contemporary identities, new technologies and body borders. It focused on multiplicity and permanent changes, the pillars of our actual fuzzy world. In the hard core of our identity we may ’’read’’ the text of the infinity. Man’s life is a love story between the Self and the Time. (Constantin Severin)
