In the contemporary art context Re.act 2017 will work as a laboratory for the resident artists to explore the paradigma of being in a different layer, entering a specific place lost in space and time in relation to the social contemporary scenario. In a context of transformation of human perception influenced by the digital innovations of our society, a dialogue is created between the post-digital era and the organic essence of our natural being, immersed in an electronic environment. Those elements symbiotically contribute to drive the body to its ancient basic elements of human existence although constantly perceived by technology. The "digital act" contrasts and coexists with our human nature in an eternal cross communication. The continuous influence of our own accelerated pace, propagates in a new paradigm of new media and digital realities that alters our perception of time, space and reality, in contrast to the availability of a sensory contemplation.
In the fast-paced frenzy that drives our contemporary societies, where thoughts and impulses are beamed by way of artificial communication and express the paramount need to scroll through the snippets of information that make up the latest trends, the current post-digital, new-media generation is faced with the unprecedented shift from direct life experience to an artificial way of connecting/disconnecting with the natural/analogical world. This loss of sensorial reference and contemplation is increasingly contributing to distance human beings from the elements of the natural world. In this dazzling new reality, the pictorial tradition of landscape painting no longer seems apt to capture the intricate web of new significations emerging from cityscapes in the age of the global city. In an archipelago In the middle of the Atlantic, connected to the idea of Atlantis, described by Plato, 7 contemporary artist shall work inside this matrix in a dialogue between matter/non-mater and in permanent laboratory in a apparently neutral territory for exploration and co-relations between different layers of reality and post-reality.

Re.act 2017 funciona como um laboratório de arte contemporânea onde se propõe aos artistas residentes abordar o paradigma de estar numa camada de percepção diferente. Envolvidos por uma localização que, de certa forma, se encontra perdida no espaço e tempo ́, quando comparada à realidade social urbana contemporânea. A transformação da percepção humana, influenciada pelas inovações digitais da sociedade contemporânea, cria um diálogo entre a era pós-digital e a essência orgânica do ser, actualmente imerso num ambiente eletrônico. O corpo natural é constantemente acompanhado pela tecnologia e, o “ato-digital” contínuo coexiste em diálogo e fricção com a natureza humana.Perante um ritmo hiper-acelerado deparamo-nos com um novo paradigma em que os new media alteram a nossa percepção do tempo, espaço e realidade, em contraste com a disponibilidade para contemplação sensorial. Perante este caos social, os pensamentos e impulsos propagam-se através da uma comunicação essencialmente digital onde se manifesta uma necessidade de extrair significado através de fragmentos de informação que compõem as últimas tendências. A atual geração pós-digital depara-se com uma transição sem precedentes da sua experiência natural para um modo artificial de conexão e desconexão com o mundo natural/analógico. A perda de uma referência ligada à contemplação, contribui cada vez mais para o distanciamento do ser humano ao mundo natural. Nesta nova realidade, a tradição da representação pictórica da paisagem já não parece ser capaz de captar a complexa e intrincada rede de significados que emerge das paisagens urbanas na era das cidades globais.Num arquipélago situado no meio do atlântico, relacionado com o conceito da Atlântida descrita por Platão, 8 artistas trabalharam numa matrix especifico em permanente diálogo entre matéria e não-matéria. Um laboratório num território aparentemente neutro e ligado á essência do natural onde a exploração das co-relações entre os diferentes layers ou planos da realidade e a pós-realidade são parte do objeto de estudo.
