This December, as part of the 2011 Shenzhen-HK Biennale, New York-based multimedia production agency Opalnest has programmed a dynamic line of events – FUTURE NOSTALGIA: MOVING IMAGES, MOVING CITIES – that explore key themes of the architectural biennale, bringing the audience a sensory experience that blurs the line between intermedia art and the acoustics of city jungles. The featured works, presented by artists who live and work in urban environments, are ephemeral dialogues between the cityscape, audience and their non-linear present moment.
Future Nostalgia is a glimpse into a distilled and fragmented sense of time and place. Our relationship to the environment and urban space is reflected and reevaluated through ephemeral time-based works. At the foundation of the events are artists and works that evoke a critical perspective on the urban situation, while offering a poetic view on our city’s transient landscape. The featured works and performances, presented by artists who live and work in urban environments, are intimate dialogues between the cityscape, audience and their non-linear present moment.
