In[ter]vencion
Essay by Raul Ferrera Balanquet
.
Navigating up the stream of data flow in the current state of disinformation
requires an extreme cultural training. The constant manipulation of
stereotypical images -the image of the terrorist is a good example-, the
increase of access to the information networks in the so called "third
world", and the imposition of English as a dominant language in network
technologies are workings to erase the fight for preserving and renovating
our cultural traditions.
In[ter]vencion presents six Latinos artists living in diverse regions of the
Americas: Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela and Los Angeles, all of them Latinos
territories. This curatorial effort creates a glimpse to a body of work
produced by cultural warriors of their own time who, as conscious of the
need for cultural intervention in the space of flow, have confronted the
language and technological dominant paradimgs to employ interventionist
tactics such as the game, the electronic magazine, the recycling of the
database and the reconstruction of traditions. No matter how difficult is to
be a net artist; we are here, overcoming the obstacles, perpetuating,
recycling and creating the digital myths of Las Americas.
