MOLAA invites you to an engaging discussion that presents ARTEÔNICA, an art exhibition project that explores this little-known Latin American art movement, creating a dialogue between a group of pioneers from the 1960s and 1970s and the contemporary artists whose work responds to their legacy. Despite challenging political and social conflicts across Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s, the relationship between art, science, and technology expanded during that period. Latin American artists and thinkers never stopped working at the intersection of art, science, and technology, enriching the historic legacy with pressing contemporary discussions on participation, social engagement, indigenous knowledge, autonomous and living systems, memory, and networks for global solidarity, which give rise to uncommon grounds that provoke critical and dialogical perspectives. ARTEONICA explores the history and present of electronic art from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Mexico. Within a broader context of conceptual, historical, and geopolitical thought, hand in hand with more than 20 artists, including Waldemar Cordeiro, Marta Minujín, Analivia Cordeiro, Juan Downey, Pola Weiss, Constanza Piña, Mariano Sardón, Patricia Domínguez, Marcela Armas, Teresa Burga, Martha Boto, Leo Nuñez, Gyula Kosice, Tania Candiani, Vitoria Cribb, Juan Salas, Francesco Marioti, Lucia Monge y Rejene Cantoni, among others.
