Coventry Biennial 2021 - HYPER-POSSIBLE
Networks & Relationships and Contemporary Art
As the Internet rapidly changes our world, it is reasonable to assume that contemporary art practices are also affected. In fact, the location of artworks is unique, and new methods for understanding social and cultural phenomena (including network phenomena) can be discovered and revealed.
Main Visual Output
The campaign will be presented by interface design which is based on the characteristics of net art: unlimited data, no geographical limited, fast communication speed. It will become a meme spread by word of mouth. HYPER-POSSIBLE will be explored by the way of presents in digital media, demonstrating the modularity, variability, the programmability, the interactivity of the network, and the relationship with the audience also reflect an increasingly complex world.
The element of the 4-colour gradient background is designed by rhizome concept, It is a communication network of combinatorial relationships. Each colour can represent a material form, a form of expression, or a person/culture/society/politics.
The visual concept design gives the audience a strong impression and emotion, it is more about making the concept"Network art brings us together" accessible by physically representing them in a way that is meaningful to people who are trying to understand through oral explanation.
Visual thinking is a set of tools that, through visualization, make it easier to understand complex ideas about changing, non-central, transforming physical forms, representations, and social relationships.
