MEXICO CITY.- Over the past ten years, Peter Hovarth has experimented with new Internet-based forms of cinematic narrative. His work is known for its pioneering exploration of video in the context of the Internet, combining hypertext with sound and Web programming.

In his first works, Hovarth combined photographs, texts, graphics and animation to create lyrical, a-temporal fragments. Over time, the artist’s aesthetic focused increasingly on film as he used video as a composition tool to render pared-down and yet detailed moving images in his framing and presentation of particular situations.

Through his continual explorations, the artist depicts the expressive capacities of Net Cinema in works that examine substantially diverse human conditions such as displacement, envy, loneliness, love, seduction, innocence, fear, individuality and identity. His works are constructed in a medium that represents an ideal setting, associated with certain thought structures that allow him to establish a dialogue with these relatively subjective experiences.
