A video-art about words in the context of violence, about the relationship between words and space, words and life, words and death. Is there an inner violence in words, linked to the acceptance of its meaning? Or is the sense of violence conditioned to the context in which they are used?

The piece combines motion video and stop-motion animation.

n.o.w. is the first piece from the series "w.o.r.d.s." by mexican multimedia artist Daniel Iván. The series deals with the status of words as "meaning units", with the distance between what's been said and the structure of the message as it is emmited. In a world replete of words, our main problem as human beings is to fulfill meaning. Or should be.

This video is available as a loop (without the end credits) at danielivan.com, for exhibition purposes.
