PANORAMA 27 brings together films and installations, image, sound and performance, combining analog historical technologies with virtual or digital simulations, combining documentary observations and algorithmically-generated images.
What this new generation of authors demonstrates is an overflowing imagination that, far from calling for a slowdown in the face of this accelerationist shock, stands out for its sensitive awareness of the resources and potential in terms of registers of experience and narratives offered by technologies in all their diversity. We see them mobilizing analog and decelerative means as well as virtual or algorithmic spaces, from drawing to vector simulation. Their proposals are not a frontal response to the competition from automated "content" generators and their sterile image-data, but rather an intensification of experience: a plunge into synesthesia, into simultaneous perception.
Arranged thematically, the works take us into immersive spaces, sensitive atmospheres and narratives where sensory perception is broadened. They simultaneously combine spiritual experiences and translations, temporalities blending past and present, self-awareness and otherness, the simplest gestures and everyday feelings. From the individual body to its often undisciplined forms of collective organization, the works open up an expanded cartography of lived experience. They plunge us into a plurality of realities and sensitive registers, evoking ecosystems - organic or inorganic, artificial or material - as well as experiences of intimacy and memory. History, with its admitted narratives and those asking to resurface, continues to weigh heavily, influencing the politics that determine everyday life.
In this way, reality helps us to grasp fiction, where what is observed is simultaneously transformed into a narrative, doubling the virtual through a sensory relationship expanded into a critical sense.
