With the interaction between a spectator who activates and the machine as an automaton, the “uncertainty of the creative act” is installed as a result of spontaneity and randomness and the “resulting images illustrate different moments of a new foundation of Buenos Aires”, stand out from the organization.
The visual artist and teacher at UNA in his work explores and investigates sociocultural manifestations and builds “complex mechanisms of meaning” in his works (paintings, sculptures and publications) where he uses and also combines the history of video games, dystopian architecture, sound machines and medieval manuscripts.
On the other hand, the second prize of 300,000 pesos went to Golder’s project, winner last year of the first prize of the National Salon with “Workers” and the project “The secret of the earth”. It is a video installation that is part of a larger investigation “on the gaze and its political dimension”, arising from the shock of the Chilean police’s repression “against protesters during the 2019 outbreak that has left more than 400 people with eye trauma. Some of the victims have lost one or both eyes,” explains Golder.
The work that will be carried out from the exploration in the territory with filming in Neuquén and San Juan, “wonders about what remains after the tragedy, about that violent search to generate emptiness, absence of gaze, invisibility, blindness” and “the ways ways to stop memory loss: collect the remains, the traces, the images on the verge of disappearance”, says the curator and teacher and co-director of the Biennial of the Moving Image (BIM).
The third prize, also 300,000 pesos, went to Alberti with “Lliklla”a project that continues his line of work at the crossroads between textile production and computer science and his idea of ”the generative” on which his artistic practice is centered, where he seeks to “create a digital fabric capable of generating a plot in perpetual development” .
“The ‘Lliklla’ is a rectangular, hand-woven shoulder cloth, a cloak worn by Quechua women in the Andean region of Bolivia and Peru and traditionally fastened at the front with a decorated brooch called a tupu,” Alberti explains. about the “digital work of art in constant creation” that it projects.
“It is a mantle of hand-soldered LEDs that produces patterns from a very simple algorithm. An electronic fabric where technique and aesthetics are combined to communicate a series of meanings that refer to a particular vision of the world and its technology” .
Graduated from the Image and Sound career at FADU, professor at the same house of studies at UBA and at Untref, since 2007 he has been experimenting with different materials, formats and production models in the context of Electronic Arts and his works have been exhibited in the country and cities such as London, São Paulo, Madrid, Santiago, Barcelona.
The three works that remain the property of the artists will also be exhibited at the National Museum of Fine Arts as part of the agreement with the Foundation that contributes to the visibility of art.
The Foundation, chaired by the musician, collector and real estate entrepreneur Andrés Buhar -who will inaugurate its headquarters at Bartolomé Miter 434 in the city of Buenos Aires- awards three prizes with a total amount of 1,200,000 pesos to the winners of the call whose projects reflect the expressions of experimental electronic arts, according to the opinion of its five juries: María Teresa Constantin, artistic director of ArtHaus; Andrés Duprat and Mariana Marchesi, director and artistic director of the MNBA, respectively; the researcher Jorge La Ferla; and the visual artist and teacher at the National University of the Arts, Anahí Cáceres.
Those selected for the scholarships of the Contemporary Scenic Practices Laboratory were also presented, under the coordination of the director Ana Alvarado.
