Wireless Conditions

PDAs and Mobile phones are the tools (and visual icons) of our time ­ for those who are always on the move, involved in different activities simultaneously…they speak to our nomadic way of life. But to create art for these interfaces is a challenge. The question now is: how to conceive of an art form made to be experienced "in between" -- that is, while doing other things?

The answer is unclear. Nevertheless, it points to the emergence of a new subjectivities and a different reading experiences distributed in multiple and crossing platforms.

Media is reduced to its transportation function. Updating McLuhan, we might say that from now on, the interface is the message.

These topics will be discussed based on some of the artist’s works: “wop art”, “leste o leste?” “poetrica” and “egoscópio”.
