Inlak’esh Alaken I am You, You are Me

We have decided that even though it is not possible to defy science by
confronting it with art, we as many artists of our time have found that in
the combination of these two applied disciplines we can create a virtual
wormhole through space and time. This can only prove that even though
we still have physical body limitations, our minds are still free thanks to
the existence of art. All that we can imagine will eventually exist. Theory
has now become practice thanks to the breakthroughs of science and
with Inlak’esh Alaken we want to vivify the possibilities of our existence.

We know we are an Everything; M theory, the tao, the cosmic conscious,
God, the self, these are just words, mathematical representations, signs,
symbols of that we cannot speak of because language is still rudimentary,
but the force of experience through art is unlimited and speaks deep
within ourselves. Through this artistic intervention our purpose is to prove
once more, and as many artists have done in the course of time, that
through art we can access the eternal possibilities such as the ones mentioned
above.

This past March 11 2009 Mátika Magazine, Emily Carr University of Art + Design,
Gámomo Creative Lab, A day in a Life, Tuesday Creative, Almacén,
and ITESO came together to present Inlak’esh Alaken. We transmited
live through the internet three different New Media artistic interventions that
were taking place in three different cities at the same time. More than 80 people saw the artistic intervention live and more than 100 people saw it live through the internet from different parts of the world. Matika invites you to experience the infinate possibilities that art and science open to us.

ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN AHEAD
