Visualcontainer is pleased to announce the presentation of PANORAMICA*25 // Liminal Cartographies at the Video Art Miden festival, as part of an international programme bringing together 110 artists from around the world.
The event takes place on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 June 2026 at ToPikap Kato, Thessaloniki (Greece), from 18:00 to 22:00.
PANORAMICA*25 is the annual curatorial project by Alessandra Arnò dedicated to contemporary Italian video art. The fifth edition, entitled Liminal Cartographies, brings together ten works inhabiting thresholds between the natural and the artificial, memory and simulation, body and machine, intimacy and platforms.
PANORAMICA*25 // Liminal Cartographies
To map today does not mean describing a territory neutrally, but rather recognising that every map is a device: it selects, orients, produces visions and omissions. Liminal Cartographies brings together works that inhabit thresholds between the natural and the artificial, memory and simulation, body and machine, intimacy and platforms, crisis and transformation. From the sonic and choral landscapes of Val Badia and Elba to virtual architectures inhabited by avatars; from narratives entrusted to AI to posthuman ecologies reconstructed through data and pixels; up to the city of Milan observed as a field of surveillance and war invading the background noise of the present: “place” becomes political, perceptual and emotional matter.
The selection presents practices that do not simply represent, but construct conditions of vision, shifting the point of view onto a critical map of the present: not in order to close a discourse, but to keep contradictions open, to make thresholds visible, and to measure — through the moving image — what traverses us today.
