Details

Marcos Castro, Gonzalo Fuenmayor, and I belong to the same generation. For that reason, we share the cultural baseline of our imagination which we can imagine being a geological ground from which the flora and fauna of our work as artists can emerge. We were born to witness the birth and emergence of the digital world, and as impressionable minds, we lived and breathed a political and intellectual project called “postmodernism”, characterized by postulates like Richard Rorty’s amazing maxim: “Truth is a property of sentences, since sentences are dependent for their existence upon vocabularies, and since vocabularies are made by human beings, so are truths.”

As a generation, we also lived in the age of proud scientism where general relativity, explained to us that time passes differently for different observers. Quantum indeterminacy teased our fantasy by suggesting that undead cats were scientifically possible and, as Einstein famously complained, god seemed to be playing dice to determine what is actually the case in the cosmos.
