The era of the techno formalists may be over. Content has arrived to 
transform the scripts, the 0 and 1, the actions and the digital 
fragmentation. As in the past, those who have been excluded for the 
technologies are catching up to create distinctive multiple reflections of 
the present. Programming is subverted to create repetition that are now 
becoming new patterns. What is seems an endless cycle is now the 
transformation of a new paradigm. A simple click becomes the articulation of 
a definitive discourse. The artists invite the users from different ethnic 
groups to collaborate in the creation of new configurations. The pain of the 
exile remains with us, foreseen the nomadic existence of contemporary 
artists. The politic of traveling is not only the metaphor for the flow of 
data, but the constant struggle of people who after suffering the effect of 
globalization in their native land are forces to take the streets and the 
Internet to articulate their conditions.

As the urban Metropolis in the so called “first world” are changing faces, a 
more ethnically diverse mask, fears, pains and social conditions are 
entering the digital divide to accentuate the historical incongruence of 
this XXI Century. Women are alerting us of the danger of the mechanical 
reproduction and finds ergonomic ways to confront the technology expressing 
their deep concern for the globalization of labor.

This exhibit attempts to map new territories in contemporary new media art 
as well as the development of some of the artists for whom the digital has 
become a new form of expression.

I would like to thank Fons Geerlings from The African Serve and Carla Van 
Beers of  www.africancolours.com for their contributions.
