CILAVS and The Vasari Centre Present: Early digital art in Argentina: re-examining the Victoria and Albert Museum collection

The Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies, CILAVS, and the Vasari Research Centre for Art and Technology, warmly invite you to:

Early digital art in Argentina: re-examining the Victoria and Albert Museum collection

Melanie Lenz (V&A Museum)

The V&A holds over 700 objects from Latin America. Little known amongst them are the holdings of early digital art made in the late 1960s by Argentine artists associated with the Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAyC). Research on early computer art practices has largely focused on the West, yet beyond this geographical sphere innovative art and technology networks also developed. This talk considers a small but intriguing number of digital artworks in the V&A’s collection in relation to their Latin American cultural context and explores the role of CAyC in facilitating the use of the computer as an experimental and creative design tool.

Wednesday, 15 February 2017, 6.00-7.30pm, Keynes Library, 43 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PD
