Rise of Expertise

Research and development for wider knowledge

Rapidly growing research and evolutions in development of using our resources effectively has lead to wider and greater availability of knowledge, each development is a documentation of our ability to advance. These continuous advancements help us to develop communities to the next stage.

Deserted

We encounter many objects of which once had diverse purposes for their existence on a daily basis. Sometimes we are faced with situations placed upon us to decide whether to maintain that history for future generations, or to make use of the opening to build something new. The purpose of this ‘something new’ is to replace what was once there, but it can also be to build upon the heritage that already exists.

Unattainable

Our dependence on services that we have an extremely high reliance on has sometimes been restricted or in some cases rendered completely unattainable. In such events we have to find new ways to find our way round these obstacles, but occasionally there is little alternative and we are left with none or little control over their availability in the future.

Regulation

With the reality that surveillance is increasingly used amongst the population, we are constantly required to perform under the scrutiny of supervision. Civilians are viewed as suspects and the surveillance is the cause of unnecessary pressure, so yet although helping to keep things in order deprives us of our rightful freedom.

Conventional

In the fast changing of today’s societies it is easy to displace control from our younger generations. With the continuously growing of information available, it is transforming a once closed culture into a free world of individuals endorsing many to challenge the regards of others, which in turn has the potential to damage the traditional upbringing methods of the past.

Notion of Trust

"A word so loaded with complexities and textures but so simple at the same time."

"We live in a society that treats an unattended bag as a very dangerous item as opposed to an innocuous object someone might have left behind."

80 artists around the world got involved to show their idea of 'Trust', and through their work was the aim to learn more about the theme and inspire viewers to make their own decisions about what 'Trust' means to them.

"..demonstrate the power of images as a communicative device to overcome language barriers and avoid established pre-conceptions."

How have we as a society developed from being open to judging everything so skeptically, what has lead us to this position? what influences are on us to think this way? (heavily governed? technology? tv? surveillance? laws?)

Are we infact just trying to achieve the perfect society, in which case, who has the right to give us such an aim and to know what the perfect society is?

Do it without thinking of critics

"We believe that expression should not be fade by the fear of being criticized by others. To illustrate this maxim, we created some large scale types by using only white cloths, paper and thread on natural landscapes as background."

People that walked around the city of Percé would see the whole series of images. I think the concept behind these pieces is interesting, because it's true, people shouldn't feel restricted to express themselves in fear that other people will criticise their opinion/work, afterall our expression in different ways make us who we are.
