Is it possible to live without a heart, lungs, kidneys, eyes, ears, any other organs or their fragments? Is it possible to travel in a car without a driver or a plane without a pilot? Is it possible to control devices with your thoughts ? The answer to every single of the questions is: Yes. Such inventions as an artificial heart, eye, kidney and many other vital organs have already been tested. Autonomous cars a.k.a. 'driverless cars' are now undergoing their test rides across the USA and may appear in Europe in no time at all. Unmanned aerial vehicles soar in the sky. Packed with electronics head-worn devices receive impulses from the wearer's brain and translate them into signals transmitted to a computer. Then the computer helps people with serious dysfunctions communicate with their family or control devices which facilitate their lives. These are just a handful of inventions which until recently remained just fantasies and SF visions and now not only make their way out of laboratories, but storm everyday life and newspaper headlines. There are many more which we no longer perceive as scientific avant-garde, as many of us have already had contact with non-invasive techniques to diagnose heart, brain or motor organs; gene therapies, or cloning plants and animals. The latest advancements in medicine, information technology and various branches of industry, impress with their ability to overcome the impossible, and inspire to move the frontier further and farther. It is hard to set any horizon for today's science when, practically or at least theoretically with mathematical equations, it reaches from the Big Bang to forecasting consequences of global warming, from quarks to stars a thousand times bigger than the Sun. The essence of science is searching for something smaller than the known smallest, something faster, more efficient, better, like in the ancient Olympic motto: "Faster, Higher, Stronger". Today's scientific achievements prove that the words: "It is impossible" should be rather: "It is impossible for now". Who knows what a data carrier of the future will be? Maybe, one day, the Biennale exhibitions will be filled with holograms, and visitors will stroll round them like in Louvre round the ancient sculptures. At the humble beginning of Biennale, during the 1st Edition, some of the submitted projects were traditional photo prints. In the current Edition there is a project dubbed photography in time - continuous photography, and black and white photography became the domain of artists, presenting results of their artistic projects. Announcing next editions of our Competition, all we have to do is just wait patiently for fascinating research results and new forms of presenting them.
