The Mountaineers | Miguel Ángel Cardenal

New ways of perceiving have been born. Our present is digitized. We find a direct way to familiarize ourselves with the place and memories through the screen, we intensely search for images through our devices, we connect through the pixel with what is far away. We remember through the screen and create a new method of conceiving space and landscape. It is here that perception is drawn to the mediated, the digital, RGB light, and the space created by new media. Under this premise, "The Landscape Through the Screen" is born. In the exhibition, the artistic pieces show a dialogue between the coldness that a screen evokes in us, where the landscape is totally structured by grids and pixels, by color and sensations of depth. Due to a ease and speed that makes us feel increasingly connected to the digitized medium. In contrast, the landscape loses its entire natural conception. When contemplated through these means, it loses the characteristics that define the landscape itself. The wind, the sun, the rain, or the opportunity to traverse it have become pure visual and auditory sensations. Have we created a new landscape? Is the landscape behind the screen a sublime landscape? Are we beings heading towards a new virtual reality? It is now in this present and immediate future that the clash of new media raises these questions for us. It provokes a change in our perception and we feel drawn to the new way of seeing and, at the same time, it becomes intertwined with our way of perceiving physical space.
