Screens and Surfaces: Toward a Critical Grammar of Contemporary Artistic Practice compiles the journalistic and curatorial writings of JESUS NAVA RIVERO (JESUSNRIVERO, JNRivero), presenting a sustained intervention into the conditions of cultural production in the digital age. Situated at the intersection of cultural studies, art history, sociology, philosophy, and cultural anthropology, this volume examines how contemporary artists navigate the profound epistemic transformations wrought by digitalization, artificial intelligence, and postmodern fragmentation.
The collection is organized around four interconnected curatorial frameworks: Art Innovators Digest, which interrogates the intersection of art and technology while tracking global artistic trends across cultural perspectives; Window of Innovation and Creative Movement, exploring how contemporary art intersects with music, fashion, cinema, and literature alongside in-depth examinations of creative processes; and Contemporary Art Pulse, profiling emerging artists, documenting community voices, and featuring established practitioners redefining the art scene.
Central to the work is an argument for the continued necessity of independent cultural journalism as a form of resistance against algorithmic governance, commercial homogenization, and the erosion of sustained critical attention. The essays trace how artists develop new grammars of expression when existing vocabularies prove inadequate, how practices circulate through translocal networks that refuse singular national frameworks, and how curation itself becomes a critical methodology for organizing attention and meaning.
This volume proposes that innovation in art lies not in technological sophistication or market success, but in the capacity to generate new ways of perceiving, thinking, and being in the world-asserting that human judgment, critical reflection, and aesthetic experience remain indispensable in an era increasingly defined by automation and acceleration.
