From the creative dialogue between the artists' Daniel Mattar and Nelson Porto, the shared concept of 'Hiperfície' emerges. This idea, translated into the works presented in the homonymous exhibition, refers to a latent creative space that emerges from the ever-growing fault lines between the digital and physical realms.
The artists explore this space through their respective practices, which intersect at the point where digital technology and traditional art-making techniques meet. By using digital tools to create physical works, and vice versa, they blur the boundaries between these two worlds.
The challenge they faced was to find new ways of creating this physical/digital art, with its aesthetic possibilities, that blurs boundaries by subverting expectations about what is digital and what is physical.
The result is a series of hybrid works that straddle the line between the real and the virtual, the tangible and the intangible. These works invite us to consider the ways in which our lives are increasingly mediated by technology and how this is changing our relationships to both our physical and digital environments.
