The rapprochement of the Internet permeates our daily lives, yet in this conscious dominance suffused by the need to be connected, and be informed instantaneously is often associated with decadence. On some level, we are aware that fast information needs to be eradicated in order to create value; banality caught in a perpetual loop of the post-human era. We are the generation who often talks about the fast and temporal, living in the present, the realist, the goal getter, the short-term attention seeker, and the constant forward mover. With so much exaggeration and beguilement from online platforms, perhaps quality authorship in art and humanities should correlate ecstatically with social media to keep the demeanour in balance. Such visibility rendered by the insensible use of globalised internet users, every now and then something happened, it draws attention to this antithetical cycle; particularly the archive of authentic ideas. Hence, the processes of authenticity and the generation of original ideas are questionable in this 21st century of the ‘con-temporary’ world. What have we discovered that our generation can be proud of? If we mean new fundamental discoveries, established by experiment and explained by theory – discoveries on the scale of a new movement can be written in art history, and that is constantly being mentioned – the answer, we have to admit, is “nothing new”. Our roles are blurred between being creative or copied and improvised. Yet the investigative aspect of contemporary ideas has often led to pathologies in great length of research and understanding for an edifice into the ‘view of the community’ – the globalised Internet. Of which, aesthetics and theories posit ambidexterity of affect and embodiment that propose an unequivocal cause or (emotional transference) to an original idea. So, what is really new?
The metonymy works revealed in this magazine clearly form a synergized similarity between the design world and the art world. Although there are reasons for new forms of authentic policing that draw on different epoch of aesthetics ideology, both of which is borderless and posed by a common thread of how artistic practice and culture work are economically driven. I hope this magazine gave voice to struggling talented individuals whose work time has integrated into sleep time. Mountain of precarious work seems endlessly immaculate. This chilling reminder henceforth could be justified on the grounds that being authentic takes on more than just thinking creatively and critically, but as well as retrospectively.
As the 7by8 curators progress over a year, we have successfully collaborated exchanges with several art critic initiatives, and have been challenged with facets of artistic parallels of different visual vocabulary, tasteful appropriateness and aesthetically selectees. We are grateful for these exposures and artists who are involved with our online curatorial work and recent exhibitions. 7x8curators Magazine is a new initiative platform to expand the collective’s connection in the international art scene and this is our 1st free press issue! We sought after outstanding, young and emerging individuals like us, who are committed in their practices to join our magazine. We have invited current art practitioners to share with us their experience, ideology, pedagogy, and field work in an article open to this 1st issue's topic of authenticity. Ranging from the following areas: artistic practice, art writing, philosophy, culture policymaking, art business, humanities and institution. The initial launch of our magazine will be online, and we will be publishing articles throughout the beginning of spring till the end of summer 2015. The free press magazine has been launched on May 8 at the preview la Biennale di Venezia 56. Esprosizione Internazionale d’Arte, Italy 2015.
