The theme delves into the interplay between opposing forces within water itself. Imagine the boundless expanse of an idea, ever-shifting and vast, colliding with a focused current of innovation that carves its own path. Or the tension between harnessing the current (as Heidegger describes) versus abiding and flowing with it. This exhibition explores these contrasting energies, considering how serenity can erupt into chaos, how creation can lead to destruction, and how these forces constantly reshape the landscapes they touch. At the same time that it is a destructive or powerful force, water is also a vulnerable system, subject to contamination, overuse, and pollution if taken for granted.

Beyond the physical movement of water itself, “Streams/Corrientes” can be a lens to explore the invisible currents that shape existence. Imagine a vast ecosystem, a tapestry woven from threads of energy and influence. Flows of people, data, ideas, sound, code. This exhibition invites artists to explore how these contrasting flows – the forceful and the subtle, the disruptive and the transformative – influence the movement of everything from fleeting thoughts to enduring traditions.

We encourage submissions that interweave technology and narrative to create interactive digital artworks that explore the theme of “Streams/Corrientes”. These works can navigate contrasting perspectives, inviting viewers to dive deeper into works inspired by the flow of water and other currents. We aim to draw attention to constant movement, exchange, convergences, and divergences within the various systems we inhabit and are part of. We invite artists to explore the following questions:
