No Kids Allowed
The younger generation are natives of the virtual world, a world that is overloaded with infinitely deep rabbit holes of information and content. They were and are raised by the Internet: schooled by search engines, communicated with memes, lived on social media. The physical world, it seems, is almost irrelevant.Welcome to the anti-generation, a generation against being represented, a generation that needs no agent and no spokesperson, a generation that is directly activating cultural influence and transformation 鈥� from sharing personal experiences to social advocacy 鈥� through social media.
Intertextuality in the digital age opens up complex meanings and disseminates new ideas at an exponential rate. Text, images, audio and video are extracted from their original contexts, and are then evolved and mutated into memes, the smallest unit of cultural transmission. Everyone can participate in the creations and circulation of memes: unknowingly, we become a part of this digital culture rhizome which constitutes social progress.
No Kids Allowed plays out as an irony in which we invite local young creatives to trespass and occupy the spaces in society where they are rejected to get in. Together, they transgress the expectations society uses to box them in. Tomorrow Maybe transforms into an experimental playground for emerging artists to embody their artistic visions. We center seven emerging creative minds working on different mediums ranging from poetry, painting, sculpture, photography, installation to computer graphics. Without being an answer to social issues or making conclusions of cultural phenomenons, they use their tools for unorthodox visions and to question the status quo. By restoring a non-mediated connection between human and art, the exhibition turns into a physical gateway leading to a collective imagination of the better possible futures between inter-generations.
