Uncoated-content is a forest of voices, an attempt at dialogue and contact that embraces the possibility of failure, an experiment in connection that tries to move beyond the limits of the digital world and rationale of sales, markets and production.
It is a collective project that spreads beneath the surface for miles, like mycelia.
Artists are invited to interact via their preferred channels, in a free and unmoderated exchange, offering reflections and thoughts on the practice of making art, on that which is the substance of their reality. We have decided not to place the work at the centre of our model of discourse, not because the work is not central in the artist’s path but because we believe it is more important to give space to the community, to dialogue and the exchange of creative ideas.
We aim to build relationships between artists and provide the opportunity for free expression, creating dialogues which are fruitful but may also fail or prove incomplete, introducing the figure of the author to the muddy waters of interconnection. Despite the transitory nature of the platform, the Internet, the initiative attempts to create delicate and lasting interpersonal relations, where it is not coaction in production at the centre, but the symbolic action of creating a community. The virtual space is created by artists and designed in the same way for them and the public, who can approach this world directly, to learn and observe. Uncoated-content is a platform for dialogue and exchange, a virtual space to establish relationships that we hope can migrate to real places and projects capable of generating meaning. Connections are created without physical presence, contacts without contact, in the hope that these relationships may subvert the rationale of production.
