*Nothing Without Utopia*



The Bienal Internacional de Curitiba 2013 is included in the discussions of
the "Biennial models" and seeks new ways. With an open and flexible
structure, it presents a special section of web art curated by Maria Amelia
Bulhões. These works are created through online resources, from specific
programming that compose pages for the World Wide Web (www), bringing
together different multimedia resources such as sound, text, graphics,
still and moving images, among others. A production, ubiquitous and in
transit, which in its diversity, its volume and its different trends
complicates the selection of a sample. The curator chose artists who
develop participatory works, concerned with social issues and focusing on
experimentation, selecting works ranging from the emergence of these
practices in the second half of the 1990s, to the most current trends.


The rhizomatic connection from the web, with its permanent flows,
challenges artists to explore the limits of predetermined, with works that
promote dialogues and expand through the globalized space, adopting
collaborative positions, welcoming everyday life and committing to new
functions of art. Artists are dealing with a real possible in the virtual
sea, making this navigation an jointly undertaken adventure that preservs
the place of desire and utopia.
