Art and Nomads: The Other Nature
Since the 80s philosophers describe the modern world as a multitude which cannot be integrated, the multitude, which evades any attempt to impose any unified principle of life and language of description. Global theories are failing. Today everyone is looking for their place in the world and the explanation of it for themselves. In the world lacking the point of assemblage a movement is not a tool, but an aim in itself. Deleuze and Guatarri use the notion of nomadism to describe these transformations. For the world turns into a place for nomadic, and its inhabitants turn into nomads. Modern media turn this explanatory metaphor into a mundane fact. A human being armed with mobile internet is no more tied to a concrete place and is able to go above and beyond all geographical and juridical borders.Their belongings are narrowed down to a backpack, laptop and bank card. In such a world an artist is bestowed with incredible abilities: everything he needs is in a reach of his hand, including audience, which has an access to his digitized creative work.
The digital art takes many forms – from the creation of new worlds with VR-technologies to science-art, web-art, software art, NFT-art, etc. The art institutions undergo changes too, as well as the traditional roles of curator and creator. The new combinatorial models of making and presenting art as well as collecting art appear. The possibilities of art communities, free of geographical borders and linguistic barriers, are in a process of expansion.
However, the recent events revealed the other side of this utopia. The very instruments which make people mobile and free, presume total control. This is a vulnerable spot of a modern human, who has nowhere to hide – they don't have a home as a safe space, which guarantees stability from the switching leverages of total control. Can art find a balance between mobility and stability, between freedom and control? Can the artist find a place for a human in the space of alienation, which the modern world turned out to be?
The Project “Art and Nomads: The Other Nature” creates a center of gravity, a location, in which interaction with contemporary art would make a viewer to include themselves in the experience of this gap and enables them to acquire a new experience of interaction with the uncertainty.
