NXS is a shapeshifting art-world of its own; a collaborative research project born from the urge to trace the ever-evolving essence of the self in the digital age.
Comprehensive at heart, NXS—standing for nexus—unfolds as a biannual publication which functions in sync with cross-media platforms and happenings such as immersive exhibitions, performances, lectures and experimental educational content creation formats.
Throughout its varied manifestations, NXS generates sincere content through a cumulative effect. A manifold network of contributors—each responding to a preceding submission—digests large concepts into tangible bits via written word or visual artworks. The experimental approach is as accessible as it is deeply emotive: personal stories and experiences of digital sensuality are in open-dialogue, building up novel narratives beyond aloof theory and rationality. Interconnected but non-linear, tirelessly curious with no end-goal on its brain, NXS gets its cyber-feet wet in the winding waters that our perception of the self is.
