From October 5th to November 5th, the Media Arts Biennial of Chile will present its 13th edition in Santiago de Chile with a series of exhibitions, conferences, and meetings. For this new edition, the team of the Biennial decided to focus its curational project on the concept of “Tremble” combining art, technology, and science.
For the first time, the Biennial has a curatorial team composed of Mariagrazia Muscatello, Sebastián Rio, Carolina Gainza, Pedro Donoso, Valentina Montero and its Director, Enrique Rivera, who have openly reflected on curatorial and artistic practices, calibration and collective constitution of writing and interaction between artworks.
The encounter is proposed and displayed as an instance of dialogue, dissemination, and exchange of media artworks and research taking as starting point the algorithms and the digital environment.
With “Tremble”, the 13th Biennial of Media Arts of Chile calls for recognition of the disasters associated with trembling, by concentrating his curational project on tremors as constant frictions that act not only geologically and tectonically but also metaphorically as causing tension, technological, economic, artistic, political and social transformations.
The biennial is organized around a program of national and international artists. Japanese artist Norimichi Hirakawa, French artist Pierre Hyugue and Peruvian artist Maya Watanabe will explore the dialogue established in continuity with the previous Biennial, whose theme was the transformation of language into the era of digital communications.
In addition, the first meeting of the members of the IBA (International Biennial Association) will take place during the event, association where the Media Arts Biennial of Chile is part since 2015.
