Slow Art
The Slow Movement is an antidote to the fast-paced lifestyle of the present times where faster is always better (from speeding up life´s activities to fast-food, etc.). Contrarily, the Slow Movement advocates a shift towards slowing down life´s pace (slow food, slow travel and slow philosophy approaches such as Byung-Chul Han´s). This movement has also permeated the process and production of art. Slow Art is the antithesis of any form of large-scale reproduction of art and mass art production. It also revitalises the capacity for reflexion and contemplation by the art beholder.

Antiselfie
The antiselfie is the antithesis of the selfie and its immediate and exponential proliferation in social networks. It is put forward as a reflective educational exercise which requires self- knowledge as a first step towards any form of self-referential art production.
