Our exhibition STREAMS ~ CORRIENTES draws upon our connection to water bodies and their close relationship to our lives as evoked by the waters that flow around Barranquilla, Colombia.

Inspiring artists like the fountain of Xanadu, water is an infinitely mutable metaphor of constancy and irreversible change. These collected works reflect on water as it shapes our world and as it is reshaped by human-caused climate change along with currents of data, ideas, code, and people; streams of memory and history; and surges of defiance and resistance to injustice, opposing the prevailing currents of wealth and power. Whether exploring visual, textual, aural, or embodied or haptic dimensions, the works of the exhibition include VR, interactive fiction, algorithmic generation, and immersive digital experiences from artists worldwide. In an outpouring of creative expression, these innovative works use novel and reappropriated interfaces to explore new directions in interactive digital storytelling.
