Go to the Palestinian Biennale /si:n/
In 1984, Nam June Paik and his partners conceived Good Morning, Mr. Orwell (1984) to demonstrate the potential of satellite television as a medium for intercontinental cultural exchange.
In 2007, with /si:n/, a conversation began between cultural practitioners and artists from Palestine and France, united by a shared curiosity for electronic poetry and a common desire to deepen their visual explorations while sharpening an anti-colonial perspective beyond dominant narratives.
Video art opens up new territories for experimenting with the image. It brings into dialogue, sound and image, art and technology, blurring the boundaries between artwork and everyday life. It welcomes, intersections, displacements, and asymmetries generated as much by the medium itself as by poetry. It also turns the body into a space for both aesthetic and political exploration. Irreverent and at times distorted, it subverts conventions and invents new ways of seeing.
Jaha !
Once upon a time—eight times over—the /si:n/ Biennale. Eight editions and sixteen years of an uninterrupted conversation.
The power of the collective, always in the making.
The strength of creation, and its persistence.
The determination to invent spaces of encounter.
Jaha !

10:15 PM Performance (20′)
The floor is lava BY Simon Pastoors (France)
The Floor Is Lava is a performance that draws on the rules of a children’s game, in which the performer moves back and forth across the stage, between spaces of burning and spaces of relaxation.
Within the folds of a text that embraces stories of discomfort and attempts at soothing, the performer makes room for a tribute to popular and inherited gestures.
