The ecological, climatic and social crisis that we are going through provides us with multiple ecosystemic upheavals, such as the pandemic moment we are still experiencing. However, although the disturbances are narrated as isolated irruptions, they belong to a continuum of accumulated phenomena. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the many symptoms of the profound exhaustion and slow, unevenly distributed violence resulting from the industrial and institutional extractive depletions and macro-operations that have been carried out in the name of developmentalism and progress, within the framework of colonial capitalist modernity. This exhibition proposes a set of pieces and projects that, from different positions, investigate this situation and the possibilities of art (always limited and partial) to re-politicise the imaginations, traumas, fears and urgencies that challenge and instigate us to irrupt otherwise, under response-able conditions from within the environmental and socio-economic collapse into which planet Earth has been plunged. The selection of works has been carried out within the framework of a public call for entries jointly developed by the International Symposium on Electronic Art 2022 (ISEA 2022) and the Santa Mònica arts centre. Its display in the exhibition space has been conceived as an invitation for visitors to explore the exhibition by tracing their own narrative or following some of the specific itineraries proposed by the curators and guest collaborators.
