The tradition and continuity of the art jewelry symposiums, which have been organized since 1990 by the Jewellers Association AURA, takes an important place in the Central European context in the field of events and mutual meetings of authors dealing with contemporary jewellery. The creation of new jewellery or objects is associated primarily with the atmosphere of the place. Yet artists also respond to the special topic of the current symposium: Instant Proximity, referring to relativity mediated proximity in real time and space. Proximity offers an opportunity for interactivity, but its absence determines the intensity of our perception. However, the online era we live in gives us opportunities to experience certain forms of proximity immediately, to bridge distances, to touch, to merge.
