Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art
Projects that bring the ‘hard’ sciences into art are increasingly being exhibited in galleries and museums across the world. In a surge of publications on the subject, few focus on regions beyond Europe and the Anglophone world. Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art assembles a new corpus of art-science projects by Latin American artists, ranging from big-budget collaborations with NASA and MIT to homegrown experiments in artists’ kitchens. While they draw on recent scientific research, these art projects also ‘decolonize’ science. If increasing knowledge of the natural world has often gone hand-in-hand with our objectification and exploitation of it, the artists studied here ...
Between
Antoni Muntadas (*Barcelona, 1942) is one of the most important contemporary Spanish artists. His work addresses social, political and communications issues, the relationship between public and private space within social framework, and investigates channels of information and the ways they are used to promulgate ideas and control and censor information. Working in different media, such as photography, video, publications, Internet and multi-media installations, Muntadas often speaks about the condition of being "in between" as a point of departure for his work. This "between" can be characterized as a place of ambiguity outside specific sites or destinations. This two-volume publication is ...
Estética, ciencia y tecnología
El libro contiene una reflexión estética sobre las poéticas de la mediación tecnológica y científica en la contemporaneidad y en las creaciones electrónicas y digitales. La evolución en la biotecnología, la cibernética, la vida artificial, la telemática, los mundos inmersivos, los sistemas interactivos de realidad virtual, la telepresencia, la robótica, han generado nuevos paradigmas estéticos que emergen con la creación en "media art", los cuales se encuentran en torno a dimensiones intermediarias - espacios híbridos entre la simulación, la ficción y la virtualización- y la transformación de datos como creación. Un paisaje de poéticas y modelos de ciencia, otra matemát...
Cosmos, Values, and Consciousness in Latin American Digital Culture
This book understands digital cultural production of electronic literatures and digital art by looking at electronic and digital works that produce subjective positionality, clouded knowledges of quantum theories, and metaphysical patterns grounded in a cultural ideology. This book underlines a conceptual framework for understanding how digital media impacts reading, approaching, and even interpreting social reality. The qualitative analyses interpret the current zeitgeist, and the works selected speak of the diverse, sometimes regionalized, and often multi-ethnic reality of the Latin American experience. The analyses elaborate on how artists reflect both the world they live in and a universal consciousness. These artists are not simply “digitalizing literature,” and these works are more than techy creations; rather, they make us think of other directions and connections.

Muntadas
La muestra constituye una suerte de panorama que gira en torno a una selección de obras de los años 70 y 80 hasta la actualidad, cuyo denominador común es la TV, foco del análisis crítico de los mass-media o "el paisaje de los media", como lo denomina Muntadas: el concepto que subyace en todas las obras es el origen de una genealogía de los "mecanismos invisibles". Muntadas indaga en el espacio de la comunicación, lo social y lo político, intrínsecamente relacionados con la intersección público/privado desde el análisis de contextos y de la arquitectura.
Shaping Smart for Better Cities
Shaping Smart for Better Cities powerfully demonstrates the range of theoretical and practical challenges, opportunities and success factors involved in successfully deploying digital technologies in cities, focusing on the importance of recognizing local context and multi-layered urban relationships in designing successful urban interventions. The first section, 'Rethinking Smart (in) Places' interrogates the smart city from a theoretical vantage point. The second part, 'Shaping Smart Places' examines various case studies critically. Hence the volume offers an intellectual resource that expands on the current literature, but also provides a pedagogical resource to universities as well as a ...
