I am presenting a new work in the exhibit: THE FUTURE PAST VS. COLONIALITY: DECOLONIAL MEDIA ART BEYOND 530 YEARS, A transborder exhibition organized by Liliana Conlisk Gallegos for the ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Community. Read the introduction to show here. Visit exhibit online here. Read Curatorial Statement here.
Coloniality refers to the colonial ideals, concepts, formats, and organizations which continue to produce decontextualized knowledge which ignores that there have always been other ways of doing, thinking, valuing, and being. Decoloniality may seem new due to this decontextualization. THE FUTURE PAST VS. COLONIALITY: Decolonial Media Art Beyond 530 Years concentrates on the work of artists who are dedicated to the movement of decoloniality and who also question the limited definitions of Media and New Media Art. In the Americas, they follow a school of thought principally headed by an Indigenous and Afro-Latin American effort which focuses on dismantling the apparently organic and unquestionable nature of Eurocentric concepts and ideals.
