Between history and historiography lies a careful process of selection and representation. A historian identifies a moment in time to write about. This moment is researched and then represented in writing; eventually, fragments of this work trickle down to schools, universities, and ultimately into our everyday lives. Through such narratives, we come to understand our place in the world and its context. In an age where we are all too well connected—amidst the myriad rhizomatic networks that bind us—the dissemination and totalization of information unfold at an unprecedented pace.

Yet these very networks, which facilitate access to people and information, have opened a different space: an alternative sphere where new worlds can be worlded. They allow artists and researchers to contest the hegemonic tales that be and respond instead with a speculative eye on the horizon. The artists featured in Art Central 2025’s video program share this trait; through forays into the moving image, their transnational bring us to an everchanging boundary—and we find ourselves standing on the shores of a future that is yet to arrive.
