Everyday we deal with a multitude of different identities and roles: we face the public life creating and adapting our social identities; our body and aesthetic tastes modify and are modified by our physical and sexual identities; our whole being evolves as well as contemporary cultures and modern cities do. People, environments, societies, progress and all their inputs shape and regenerate our individualities; they shift and overlap with our selves creating a new stimulating world.

 

The event is open to video art, photography, computer graphics, installations and performances.

 

International ArtExpo is opening a new division dedicated to the Computer Graphics. International talents are invited to present their artworks (images and animations) created with the computer graphics techniques to include in this event.
