In the extensive world present in thousands of computer networks , that bind us to all world, the Internet is not only assumed as an important one half of artistic but also creative spreading. Figuring itself as an occult world to look for (the digital world needs an interlocutor to be apprehended, in general a computer monitor) one another world (virtual and not real) if glimpses for there of pixels luminous that they separate it of our reality. To know this world, to perceive its creative potentialities, we must interact with it. All the art is presentation of concepts, of proper codes and signals. Codes and signals that live dissimulated in one definitive physical support. The digital allow to create concepts without the object. To create art without materiality. Jose Vieira (CuratorÂ’s Festival)
