I was recently invited by a minima, a print magazine focusing on art, technology and new media, to write a brief reflection on selected writings from their past issues. I share the honor with Pablo de Soto, Raquel Herrera and Raquel Renno; three artists and critics who also share their reflections on the magazine. The text are part of the NOW exhibition currently taking place at the CCCB, in Barcelona, Spain.

Official info in English:
NOW is a working platform that will take place at the CCCB from 2006 to 2009. The project reflects on the present on the basis of the scientific, technological, artistic, social and spiritual transformations taking place at the start of the 21st century ? because today it is no longer possible to explain art and culture without interiorizing scientific concepts and working with a systemic view of the world.

NOW is a process of research, creation and diffusion bringing together different local and international agents involved in promoting a change of paradigm in the information and knowledge society and in globalized cultures

Spanish info on a minima's contribution:

Pablo de Soto, Raquel Herrera, Eduardo Navas y Raquel Renno seleccionan rutas de lectura para a minima::

a minima:: es un proyecto que pretende dar visibilidad a trabajos de artistas e investigadores interesados en la implicacion de la ciencia y de la tecnologia en la cultura y el arte. Desde 2003 ha generado un archivo documental y ha establecido una red de trabajo entre diferentes colaboradores. El proyecto se concreta en forma de publicacion impresa editada bimestralmente en formato libro.

La muestra propuesta para NOW se basa en una seleccion de articulos realizada por cuatro artistas y teoricos vinculados a la publicacion.

Cada uno de ellos propone un recorrido de lectura, una ruta sencilla de navegacion a traves de textos publicados en a minima.
