Reality once seemed immutable and its perceptions unquestionable. Modernity begins on the ruins of these perceptions. Today, modernist traumas are aestheticised, conceptualised and presented from the very beginning: the artist is born into the world with already healed scars on a beautiful body. He mastered the traumatic experience of the Real in a variety of practices of manipulation of it and technical, mental, linguistic, plastic. In these practices, the artist reproduces the limit of cultural experience as the ultimate question that is also the answer, and this meaningful androgyny does not die precisely because art no longer finds the question unanswered. We are at the pinnacle of reflexivity losing its meaning, and we have several levels of observation of the observer under our feet. And the new levels do not change the landscape as a whole, nor do they open up new horizons. Against this background of aesthetic exhaustion that characterises the contemporary understanding of art, the young artists of INDI_VISUAL overcome the repression of conventional vision with the unconditionality of their own imagination. The young energy of the artists points modernity to its impasse and encourages it with the promise of continuation. The series called ‘contemporary art’ continues with their efforts. They freely choose sophisticated expressive tools and seek solutions to their problems in the realm of new media. Understanding young art as a different aesthetic vision requires the direct work of the viewer, the experience of communicating with the works in the exhibition space. Although not all works presented in the exhibition directly offer interactivity to the viewer, nevertheless, the entire exhibition affirms the experience of interactivity as already mastered. The exhibition thus represents post-interactive art.
