“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe, atomically.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson In the past we were told that by six degrees of separation we could reach any person in the world. The idea that anyone in the planet could be connected to everyone else in just six steps. In 2016, this number was cut in half by social media, saying that now each person in the world is connected to every other person by an average of 3.57 other people. This number will supposedly go down with all the new apps to come till the degrees of separation count to zero. But the fact is that we are not separated from one another, far from it. We are all linked. Not only in a digital way but through scientific data. We are all from the same exact molecules. We are all made of start dust. We are all family. We are at least 50th cousins with everyone living on earth today. All humans family tree are surprisingly from a small group of common ancestors. We are all part of a higher life force. Quantum Physics are convinced that at the very deepest level of all things

including us are energy called spirit. We are all cosmic siblings. We are all one. The meaning of Oneness brings the law of nature: what we do to others, we do to ourselves. Each individual can affect change in the world. We are all responsible for everyone. This PM10 edition aims to explain the different interpretations of human connections. More than all, how we are truly hyper-connected to each other and the processes of everyday interactions between people and the universe. Instagrafite invited 9 international acclaimed artists that are somehow involved or emotionally attached to specific communities, causes or even are great researchers about the human relations that recognise the world as a plural place to life despite the social boundaries we have created to ourselves. The group exhibition will bring together 2501, Axel Void, Faith 47, Franco Fasoli Jaz, Nunca, Olek, Panmela Castro, robosexi and Speto that will present to the public diverse techniques and styles in unusual art platforms that will encourage interaction and that will integrate audience and subjects. Viewers will be surprised by video installations, sculpture, sensory and interactive machines, crochet with resin, carved wood and many other surprises to embrace communities or people that are around and sometimes we don’t even see or associate with us. The show wants to highlight that we live in a Global Village, a term used by the Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan. We are part of the same bond, a person exists through other persons. “I am because we are”. And the duality of an interpersonal tie. The positive side that we are today living in a gigantic net, full of nodes that exist to help each other, the concept of an interlinked community. But also the existence of someone that connects with us by history, geography, coincidence, cosmos even without our will. Beyond the plural scenarios showed, the exhibition proposes a reassessment of our current situation in the world, inviting visitors to observe closer and with compassion their equals. “We’re All Connected” challenges ourselves to live the present-future moment and to be open to connect.
