MIKRÓN (μΜ)

About

In the context of the molecular revolution, we have reached a high level of technological development that has allowed us to know and decipher micro-universes, which were unattainable, and sometimes even incomprehensible to the twentieth-century model of scientific speculation. With the new forms of microscopic observation and the interpretation of data assisted by the fusion of cross-sectional knowledge, our civilization acquires the commitment to modify its principles of survival, to redefine the concept of the origin and evolution of life in the universe.

MIKRÓN is a curatorship which research format examines multidimensional thinking. Therefore, the artists and works that are part of this exhibition, tangentially document the result of this theoretical investigation, where the projects propose transversal views of this universe. The term that has been chosen to denominate this collective exhibition works as a catalytic gesture that tries to open a path towards a model of discursive speculation to unfold this hidden dimension.

Microbiology, biochemistry, neurology and quantum physics are some of the areas of knowledge of techno-scientific elaboration that are developing these new approaches, theoretical and practical, to the mechanism that allows life, with the aim of beginning to understand how The tiniest forms of existence are organized and structured and how they relate to macro-systems. Therefore, one of the great challenges facing our civilization is to decipher these interactions and their most imperceptible components, to optimize our relationship with the environment and also execute an appropriate transition towards a planetary civilization.

Accessing this immense kingdom of micro-organisms, microstructures, single-cell groupings and non-organic life forms will empower us to potentiate and correct our correlation with the biosphere; We can also redefine the idea of existence and implement multiple symbiotic devices, taking advantage of the functions of certain organisms outside their contexts. 

In turn, this will allow us to develop a coordinated concept engineering, to redesign our matrix of essential terms. In this measure and direction of rediscovery, both concepts and language need to be updated in light of these unusual revelations.

Art, science and technology will be the territories of inquiry that will connect the most frequently and these initiatives will didactically bring researchers-creators and audiences closer together.
