Special Project: Imágenes latentes

Curated by Sol Echevarría

As an era ushered in by the printing press draws to a close, another emerges through the internet and its rhizomatic structures. If material conditions are changing, is it possible to imagine that there are latent images on the verge of being revealed?

With the gradual replacement of paper by digital formats, it is not only the medium that changes, but also the ways in which information is constructed.

Social media opens a window from the bedroom onto the world. Intimacy becomes split, while discourse loses its hierarchies. This brings about a shift in the mechanisms through which the contemporary subject is represented and in the configuration of bodies, which become intelligible yet incorporeal behind machines.
