Cyberart. Works from the Itaú Cultural Collection
Since its creation in 1987, the relationship between technology, culture and art has been one of the focuses of the work of the Itaú Cultural Institute. The application of new media and technologies in contemporary visual arts has conquered its space and importance within the art system and, in this sense, it was natural that the institute decided to form a collection that brings together works that specifically originate from the confluence of art and technology.
The itinerancies of the Itaú Cultural Art and Technology Collection aim to disseminate this form of artistic expression to different audiences. In addition to the dissemination, the project aims to foster the production of technological art through the exhibition of works unanimously considered to be paramount. The group of works exhibited emphasises poetics of interaction – cybernetic – both with visitors and between elements of the works themselves. As a result, the selected works provide a more poetic and less experimental vision of this area.
The exhibition Cyberart. Works from the Itaú Cultural Collection includes works by LAb[au], Raquel Kogan, John McCormack, Regina Silveira, Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau, Miguel Chevalier, Rejane Cantoni and Daniela Kutschat, Gilberto Prado, Edmond Couchot and Michel Bret.
