Encounters in Video Art in Latin America

  • Categories: Art

With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When it was first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, e...

The Genocide Paradox

We regard genocidal violence as worse than other sorts of violence—perhaps the worst there is. But what does this say about what we value about the genos on which nations are said to be founded? This is an urgent question for democracies. We value the mode of being in time that anchors us in the past and in the future, that is, among those who have been and those who might yet be. If the genos is a group constituted by this generational time, the demos was invented as the anti-genos, with no criterion of inheritance and instead only occurring according to the interruption of revolutionary time. Insofar as the demos persists, we experience it as a sort of genos, for example, the democratic ...

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...

Decolonial Ecologies

In Decolonial Ecologies: The Reinvention of Natural History in Latin American Art, Joanna Page illuminates the ways in which contemporary artists in Latin America are reinventing historical methods of collecting, organizing, and displaying nature in order to develop new aesthetic and political perspectives on the past and the present. Page brings together an entirely new corpus of artistic projects from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru that engage critically and creatively with forms as diverse as the medieval bestiary, baroque cabinets of curiosities, atlases created by European travellers to the New World, the floras and herbaria composed by eighteenth- and nin...
