The exhibitions of technological artworks run the risk of invalidating critical, radical, or dissident productions by being co-opted by the spectacular nature of their technical resources. This is particularly dangerous in Latin America where access to technologies is often the cause of exclusions and inequalities of all kinds. Based on the critical reception of Futurism by intellectuals such as Vicente Huidobro, César Vallejos and José Carlos Mariátegui, we propose to reflect on the particularly problematic projections of contemporary technological works in the context of hi-tech exhibition.Downloads
