LA PERFORMATIVIDAD DE LA NATURALEZA. DE EDUARDO KAC AL BIOARTE EN ECUADOR

In this article, I explore the impact of Eduardo Kac, a pioneering Brazilian bioartist, on the development of bioart in Ecuador. Kac’s groundbreaking works, such as GFP Bunny, Genesis, and Edunia, blend biotechnology, performance, and art, challenging ethical boundaries and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue. Since the 1980s, Latin American artists have delved into themes of body liberation, nature, and technology, with Kac's influence notably shaping contemporary Ecuadorian bioart. This analysis highlights the intersections of performativity, technology, and nature, examining how Kac’s work has informed local artistic practices and bioethical debates.

THE FUNGI KINGDOM'S COMMUNICATION NETWORKS. CURATORIAL MODELS IN CONTEMPORARY ART. 

Research article about the mycelium network as a communication model that performs in works of art’s curation and the ubiquitous technology could be a way of understanding the referential phenomena that take place in artistic creation. We believe the process of artistic creation is rooted in a series of relational dynamics that, in their interaction with the contexts in which they are developed, generate curatorial proposals related in such a way that they expand various possibilities of aesthetic connection. We ask ourselves, beyond the use of technologies and referential dynamics in the field of art, which are the communication mechanisms that operate in contemporary art for producing works with conceptual and even aesthetic similarities within this specific historical-temporal framework?
