JOVEM reopens its doors to the public with the opening of the exhibition HIPER.SINCRON.IA

After a year-long pause, Museo JOVEM opens its second exhibition, 4-4-3 HIPER.SINCRON.IA, this Friday, September 25, curated by Jorge A. Vargas Bravo with co-curation by Hiram Constantino, as part of Guadalajara's art week.

This exhibition, explains Ana Karina Vázquez, operations director of the Fundación Jorge Vergara and of JOVEM, stems from the museum's interest in bringing together art, technology, and soccer as catalysts for cathartic collective experiences. The aim is that through these three elements, visitors can engage in a dialogue around the hyper-connectivity brought about by technology, which, paradoxically, seems to isolate us from one another even as we lose touch with our human essence. From JOVEM's perspective, collective experiences are more than the sum of their parts. The exhibition draws specifically on soccer as an example of events made possible only through the shared experience of many people: a goal, a play, or a moment capable of triggering simultaneous responses in a stadium, a home, or a city. Although each person experiences the event from their own vantage point, their movements, decisions, and reactions are interconnected with those of others.

The museum's multi-sensory space offers a journey made up of two main sections: the first, with a stronger emphasis on media and interactive art, "Sistema Vivo," features works by the collective Interspecifics, G. Salas / sh.sht.shts, and ZINGULART. In the second section, "Cantera Nacional," Hiram Constantino revisits the idea of the soccer academy (cantera) as a space for experimentation and dialogue with new artistic voices, expanding on the conversation begun by "Sistema Vivo" with a selection of works by mostly emerging artists such as Alma Saladín, Mariana Díaz, Leonardo Ascencio, Daniela Ramírez, Lino Vite, Sentimental Mexicano (Alejandro Manzanero), Edgar Mondragón, Luis Méndez, and established artist Gabriel Rico.

Among the works featured in the exhibition is MetaSincronía 1.0, by Interspecifics, which converts the visitor's heartbeat into sound. As more people participate, the rhythms can meet, synchronize, and shift. Partituras de Juego, also by Interspecifics, analyzes movements from Chivas Femenil and Varonil matches, transforming players' trajectories, speeds, and concentrations into an audiovisual experience that makes visible the game as a shifting network of decisions and relationships.

The exhibition will be open to the public at Museo JOVEM, located within Estadio Akron, from this Friday, September 25, 2026, through May 30, 2027, Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission costs $60 Mexican pesos for general admission, and $30 for preferred admission (box office only).
