Artists have recuperated the need to confirm individualism, to confirm subjectivity. They're moving away from the previous generation's Warholian neutrality. It's a European sensibility. Artists have also recuperated technological exploration and are using it towards humanistic, ideological and socially critical ends. Which brings us to the Bienal de Valencia.
Art is the Virtue of Communication.
It features artists working in all media dealing with the problem of communication. Now that the industry of the image has taken the language of art, artists want to create a positive spectacle, one that is problematic, critical, complex and ambiguous. The exhibition features 100 artists in Valencia plus an Internet-only section of 30 all new interactive works. It's an original biennial based on communication. In Venice everything is kept separate, the architecture section, the film section, the dance section, etc., and Documenta is too big, you can't see the whole thing in the time that it's there.
