SURVIVE, the 5th curation at DomĆnio PĆŗbliCC0 6529, is LIVEāØ
To survive is a verb Brazil knows well.
We've learned to make it through hyperinflation, currency changes, crises that arrive without warning, and fresh starts no one ever promised. We know that hard times are not the end of the story, but a part of it.
42 Survive themed meme cards, from seasons 2 all through 16, make up the exhibition. Tightropes and lions. Deserts, sharks, winters that would not end. Charts that swung like Fragonard's girl, and moons that never came. Sunflowers in the lava. Bodies rising over the crowd. The ever looming Bear. The artists who kept minting into the silence, and the collectors who kept hodling when holding was all there was.
Hung together, they stop being single images and become a record. Proof of work, in the oldest sense. Storms feed the roots. The wise store. The rest of us just keep walking, one step at a time. What in us resists when the cycle turns?
Only survivors win.
To celebrate and record on the world computer another IRL exhibition built entirely from CC0 works of The Memes, we have released a Meme Card submission, which is also part of Casa NUA's ongoing fundraiser for operating our public gallery, serving thousands of monthly visitors while giving them their first contact with networked art.
The cardās soundtrack, just like for our prior Pebbles and Keys & Gates exhibition meme cards, was composed by
@pandelic for the upcoming ā6529, from Cloud to Landā Vinyl Record (stay tuned⦠it's getting ready!)
