Byte Footage: identity,
territory, and memory.
The first edition of the festival, four days of workshops, conferences, and concerts about the artistic use of images and files that circulate freely on the web.
The first edition of the festival based at the Centro Cultural Kirchner in Buenos Aires, Argentina had seminars, workshops, and conferences by national and international guests, at the same time the exhibition "Byte Footage: The Image Burns" was inaugurated with works selected from of an open call.
Concept
Under the heat of an overproduction of digital images and the emergence of new forms of circulation and reproduction, Byte Footage emerges as a critical proposal about the images we consume. Although the production of images and their manipulation practices have always existed, the digital age and the continuous growth of the consumer society have deepened each of these aspects, to the point of asking ourselves: What is the point of continuing to create images?
With: Albertina Carri, Giselle Beiguelman, Francisco Medail, Leandro Listorti, Axel Kryger, Hiedrah Dance Club, Valeria González, and more.
