La relación de los artistas y educadores de arte con la tecnología ha sido un diálogo permanente, adaptando, amplificando y modificando procesos, didácticas, metodologías y contenidos para dar entrada a lo contemporáneo tecnológico. Como expresaría Giorgio Agamben en el año 2008, al preguntarse ¿qué significa ser contemporáneo?, lo contemporáneo es "una relación singular con el propio tiempo". Este es uno de los objetivos de todo artista o educador: situarse junto al alumno o el espectador en el momento presente. Y si algo caracteriza a la tecnología es su permanente actualización, una metamorfosis constante que empuja a todo lo demás al cambio y a la muda: profesiones, ocupaciones, conceptos, relaciones.

In seven interconnected short stories, the Guatemalan countryside is ever-present: a place of timeless peace, and the site of sudden violence. Don Henrik, a good man struck time and again by misfortune, confronts the crude realities of farming life, family obligation, and the intrusions of merciless entrepreneurs, hitmen, drug dealers, and fallen angels, all wanting their piece of the pie. Told with precision and a stark beauty, Trout, Belly Up is a beguiling, disturbing ensemble of moments set in the heart of a rural landscape in a country where brutality is never far from the surface.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
