NEOART's 6th Edition

DIGITAL ENVIRONS

With this Edition, NEOART Productions, a non-papered, multi-media,
contemporary art edition, celebrates its first anniversary. The
anniversary edition is inclusive of projects from French artist, Valery
Grancher, and Swedish artist, Peter Hagdahl. Both artists experiment and
explore synthetically induced digital realities and related realms.

"Be Safe, Be Free," Valery Grancher's recent digital project addresses
and criticizes the "net utopia based on transparency and real time." The
project incorporates a network of web cameras placed in Antarctica, Bela
Vista, Brazil and the Russian/Helsinki border, among other locations
around the world, thus constituting a new derivative of topos based on
the premise of paranoia.

In Peter Hagdahl's, "Everything is a substitute for something else,"
verbose phases and lengthy explanations of conspiracy resemble the
workings of a rhizome without beginning nor end. The work encompasses
the cyclical flow of information and entropy which collide not only in
the physical but in informatic spheres.
