In discussing the idea of transitory art and transition, as means to designate a processual yet uncertain condition, I make reference to a series of operative concepts, artworks and situations that outline two critical dimensions – diversion and regeneration. I am using these two terms to outline a passage from criticism and its interpretive regime to the “technical” language artists use to conceptualise their work, but also to discuss the dawn of a generation’s new mentality which re-articulates mediums and information to approach critical situations. Transition and the idea of transitory art thus become a means to address the negative relation between technics and ethics, but also to focus and extend the idea of an “intergenerational responsibility” (Hans Jonas) that culminates with re-modernization and regeneration.
