An artist who uses irony and presentation strategies that employ new communication technologies to question the democratic and equalitarian promises of these media and criticise the desire for control lying behind their apparent transparency. Based on the confirmation that new information and communication technologies are transforming our everyday life, Daniel G. Andújar created a fiction (Technologies To The People, 1996) designed to make us increase our awareness of the reality around us and of the deception in promises of free choice that are converted, irremissibly, into new forms of control and inequality. A long-time member of i rational.org (international reference point for art on the web) and founder of Technologies To The People , he is the creator of numerous projects on the Internet such as art-net-dortmund, e-barcelona.org, e-valencia.org, e-seoul.org, e-wac.org, e-sevilla.org, Materiales de artista, etc. He has directed numerous workshops for artists and social collectives in different countries.

During the workshop period, forms of creative, critical, and subversive handlings of media and new technologies, in both theory and practice, shall be developed.

“Un arte que pretende hacer visible lo invisible”

Banquete_nodos y redes
Interacciones entre arte-ciencia-tecnología-sociedad en la creación digital en España

enfocarte.com

En la década de los sesenta Edgar Morín comenzó una serie de investigaciones experimentales en el campo de lo social bajo las cuales vislumbró la incipiente idea de la necesidad de un nuevo paradigma transversal que involucrara los más diversos campos del conocimiento para lograr un abordaje multidisciplinar que diera cuenta de la complejidad de la realidad en sus múltiples dimensiones. En la sociedad actual globalizada, la vertiginosa transformación tecno científica, cultural, social y política, ha configurado una nueva cartografía, precisamente perfilada por Manuel Castells, tanto en la complejidad de las múltiples realidades en las que operamos simultáneamente, como en la interconexión entre procesos y acontecimientos considerados inconexos o marginales.

”Close Window. Refresh”. Honor by Daniel G. Andújar

International Video Exhibition in Senko Frame Project

June 7.th – June 28.th:
Daniel G. Andújar (Spain): ”Honor”, 2006
tttp@irational.org
http://www.danielandujar.org
The last video in this series is by the mediaartist Daniel G. Andújar better known under the fiction “Technologies To The People”. “Honor” is a part of his “Postcapital Archives”, and in this work he remixes videosamples from the net. The samples consist of amateur recordings made by combatants themselves from hot spots of global war and then uploaded to the net and from the many wargames available on the net. This video gives a scary picture of the growing convergence between the real and the virtual imaginations we have about our world.
Daniel has created numerous netbased artworks and directed international workshops for artists and social collectives. He has exhibited previously in Denmark in Aarhus Kunstbygning curated by Jacob Lillemose.

Interactions between art-science-technology-society in digital culture in Spain

The banquete_ project came about at the beginning of the 1990s and evolved as a network of conversations and collaborations between artists, scientists, humanists, technologists and activists. The shared motivation has been to encourage and socialise the dialogue between sciences and humanities with a mandate to explore the relationships between biological, social, technological and cultural systems. Over time, this network has given rise to an interactive ACTS (the Spanish acronym for Art-Science-Technology-Society) environment, defining a space of encounter and collaboration between different artistic, scientific and technological centres for research, production and diffusion both here in Spain as well as internationally.
