VIRTUAL HUMANITIES

The virtual is generally identified with the reproduction of the real world through digital media, Imaging a world shared by thousands of beings connected through electronic networks, which share the same state: the digital connectivity. While browsing the Internet, we find ourselves at any time of day or night, with many solitary beings who are doing the same, with whom we interact. Hence the idea of community: a collective intelligence is a distributed intelligence everywhere, constantly enhanced, coordinated in real time, resulting in effective mobilization of skills... The basis and purpose of collective intelligence is the recognition and mutual enrichment of people (Pierre Levi).
Humanity is scattered in virtual social networks spread over the internet (Facebook, Second Life, etc.) and on the borders of digital art projects that extend through electronic networks. Activating the "work”, the user connects virtually to the artist through the Human by excellency: the work of Art.

Fonlad #06_2010, in partnership with the Porto Santo’s Biennial, will present in Coimbra, at the Ícon Gallery, "Virtual Humanities", an exhibition of photography and digital painting.
Rosa dos Ventos (Wind Rose Space - Montemor-o-Velho), presents 30 min video a selection of the best works from the festivals of Herning (Denmark), VideoChannel/Cologne Off (Germany), Rec-On (Honduras), Fonlad (Portugal) and Videolab (Portugal).
Montemor-o-Velho is also host of a workshop on video-art editing directed by Videolab between 22 and 30 of May. In this place will take place also a video-art residency by the artist Francesco Milizia from Italy.
Coimbra also receives video art shows, at the Ícon Gallery (28, 29 May and 3 of July), in partnership with the Porto Santo’s Biennial.
Finally, the Unknown Artist Virtual Museum presents Cyber Human Forms, a Web art show between October 7 and December 26, 2010.
