CURATORSHIP

It is often said that artists use the technologies of their time. In the case of art that uses data as raw material and the theme of its works, the anxieties and accomplishments of contemporaneity are inseparable from its creation. We are witnessing a world shrinking under the weight of various threats—from viruses to wars—but also grappling with uncertainty about our own survival due to the misuse of vital natural resources. Climate change, identity politics, and the value of science are some of the themes explored by the works featured in this exhibition at Futuros - Art and Technology. Emergencies are the pressing issues that constrain us, creating a sense of urgency in response to situations that threaten life, and pointing to new pathways and practices that signal the beginning of much-needed transformations. ‍
