| Rafael Lozano Hemmer. Vectorial. Olympic Games Canada |
Tomorrow the 2010 Winter Olympics will open in Canada. To celebrate this I was commissioned by the Cultural Olympiad and the City of Vancouver to stage my public art piece "Vectorial Elevation", every night until February 28. This interactive installation allows people visiting www.vectorialvancouver.net to design huge light sculptures over English Bay by directing 20 powerful searchlights over a 100,000 square metre area. A webpage is made for each participant with photos documenting his or her design. The piece has undergone many improvements since it was first presented in Mexico City's Zócalo Square for the Millennium celebrations ten years ago. |

Consideramos la comunicación como una práctica política desde la cual crear recursos gráficos orientados a establecer rupturas en las significaciones, como forma de resistencia e influencia en el imaginario social, pero también como propuesta de cambio y de transformación.

| Social Practice Workshop |
 February 9, 2010
California College of the Arts Social Practice Workshop
Overview: The Field of Social Practices
Social practices incorporates art strategies as diverse as urban interventions, utopian proposals, guerrilla architecture, "new genre" public art, social sculpture, project-based community practice, interactive media, service dispersals, and street performance. The field focuses on topics such as aesthetics, ethics, collaboration, persona, media strategies, and social activism, issues that are central to artworks and projects that cross into public and social spheres. These varied forms of public strategy are linked critically through theories of relational art, social formation, pluralism, and democracy. Artists working within these modalities either choose to co-create their work with a specific audience or propose critical interventions within existing social systems that inspire debate or catalyze social exchange. http://www.cca.edu/academics/graduate/fine-arts/socialpractices |

| Milton Manetas en Bogotä |
MILTOS MANETAS En Bogotä
SEVEN RESOLUTIONS
*Carrera 19 # 70 a 57*
Para escoger la talla de sus lienzos, Miltos Manetas usualmente se apodera de los formatos de las obras maestras que descansan en los museos. Para su primera exposición en Colombia, Manetas escogió el tamaño de las 7 resoluciones de las pantallas de un computador. Los trabajos que se presentan en este show están basados en estas 7 resoluciones. Manetas cuya obra emparenta los humanos y sus maquinas, trabaja con dos extremos en el arte; la pintura y los web sites. Para él la pintura es una expresión plástica hierática que existe solamente en un lugar, mientras las paginas web se anidan en cualquier sitio y se regeneran constantemente.
“7 resoluciones” trae a Colombia la obra de este artista que en el 2009 curó el primer pabellón de Internet de a Bienal de Venecia y en el 2000 trajo al mundo Neen, una nueva escuela artística.
En 1996 Nicolas Bourriaud , el curador francés que dio nombre a la teoría de la Estética Relacional, incluyó en Trafic el trabajo de Manetas y lo ubicó en la cima de la esfera artística contemporánea. Sin embargo, este reconocimiento llevó a Manetas a interrumpir su forma de trabajo y mirar en búsqueda de otras referencias.
De esta manera Miltos Manetas inicia su exploración de la relación entre el sujeto contemporáneo y la tecnología. www.lacentral.com.co
