The “Act of Artistic Mediation” involves the insertion of art and the artists’ voice into the larger cultural dialogue for the purpose of mediating or intervening in the forces of social and political events. It is an act of art which employs any form of artistic media, embodies any artistic genre or form, bridges any combination of artistic disciplines, in order to visualize new ideas, concepts, and models that form a foundation for alternative and visionary modes of conduct.

This is the power of the artist: to mediate between our strange hostile world and the human spirit.
