Until August 4th, 2019 in Como (Italy), at the space San Pietro in Atrio, the contemporary art exhibition “INTERFERENCE” will take placeaselection of 7 international artists with more than 20 works of art (some of them exclusively created for the exhibition) will present their thoughts on the interference of modern techniques in our life.

Artists seldom confront themselves to this subject that recalls though important and urgently needed considerations. A range of technical innovations have increasingly modified, in the past 10 years, the way humans communicate with each other. Along the development of new behaviors, we give away an unprecedented detailed amount of information about who we are, what we do and when. How do these innovations interpose in the human life? Do they hinder us or are they helpful? The interference of modern technology brings up ethical and moral implications regarding the infringement on privacy in our human sphere.

The location itself (a deconsecrated church) plays an important symbolical part in this exhibition. It once embodied the central place where people and communities —in flesh— would meet and communicate. Quoting Roberta Gonella, exhibition curator and founder of Visionary Art Trends headquartered in Zurich“The church was hu­manity’s way to communicate through the centuries to its people. Now that very human form of communication is threatened by our technological age. Where more perfect to make a show about this confrontation than at Como’s beautiful church by inviting the leading artists of our day to confront this welcomed or not welcomed interference into our lives.”

Seven International artists will be showcasing their works of art.
