On January 8, 2016, 07:00 p.m., the collective sculpture and installation exhibition "Facets of Hyperconnectivity" will open at the Gallery of the Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin and will be on display until February 5, 2016. The event is organized by Many Colors Association in partnership with the Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin.
The sculpture and installation exhibition Facets of Hyperconnectivity, curated by Simona Antoniu, is built around the concept of communication; the works approach themes like the genuine verbal communication, taking place off-line, on colloquialism, psychological probing, empathy, intuition, and the inner world - the one built on non-virtual foundations. In an age dominated by technology, being online is an imperative, regardless of the effectiveness or quality of the communication established this way. Thus, what was meant as a means of communication becomes a purpose in itself and this brings on multiple social and cultural changes. The colloquialism of the Internet tends to replace the print culture, interfering with modern man's mechanisms of thought or, so to speak, determining a certain type of spontaneity and also a kind of quickness that is often akin to superficiality, or a sort of compression and generalization of the message conveyed.
Works by 9 artists from Romania and France will be exhibited: Adrian Moise Darie Dup, Franz Galo, Gabriel Brojboiu, Georgiana Cozma, Irinel Moldoveanu, Marina Antoniu, and Vlad Basarab.
The exhibition Facets of Hyperconnectivity was on display at "Brancoveanu Palaces" Cultural Center in Mogosoaia from May 10 to May 31, 2015, and is part of a complex visual art curatorial project spanning over two years, which includes a series of related cultural events: conferences, visual art exhibitions, performances, workshops, experimental and contemporary music auditions.
“Facets of Hyperconnectivity” is a project financed by EEA Grants 2009-2014, Program PA17/RO13 - Promotion of diversity in culture and arts within European cultural heritage (www.fonduri-diversitate.ro). The grant has been offered by Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the Government of Romania.
