"The beginning of the end" is called the exhibition inaugurated by the famous Chilean artist based in New York, where he deals with 10 current and future issues, such as El Profeta, embodied in Steve Jobs; The new opium, represented by Mark Zuckerberg or The New Oracle, represented by its founders, Sergei Brin and Larry Page, to mention the first three.
There are ten new challenges, dangers or profound changes. For example, religions seek answers and these searches have been guided by prophets. But each time, the answers have fewer religions and more science, to the point that many have turned into a new religion. Thus, cell phones provide us with information, but also "read" to their users, taking information that is then sold and used to catalog, manipulate, control us.
Each subject is supported by a long and obsessive work that begins with themes and information published in the press in recent years, that Errázuriz then investigated to materialize them by known personalities or by mbades of people ( extracted from sculptures of great artists) to represent the vast mbades of unemployed who will be short-term, the development of nanotechnology and other technologies to prolong life or artificial intelligence.
In a first room, there are new projections to give a context to each theme and photographs of the sculptures that synthesize them. In the second room are sculptures made with 3D prints from clbadic sculptures merged with selected characters and current elements (for example, Steve Snowden appears with a laptop and a mobile phone). Finally, in the third room, there is nothing … just a few numbers on the floor. These are sculptures of "augmented reality", which can only be seen through devices adjacent to each virtual sculpture or through cell phones. A technology that allows us to see through the screens what is happening but in which appear the sculptures that Sebastián Errázuriz "installed" at this location.
"We are all aware of many of these changes, but their scale and speed are so enormous that it is extremely difficult to do, follow up on each of them and understand their impact on other areas and he was interested in creating, in a single exhibition, A giant visual map capable of bringing together most of these transformations and their repercussions.This exhibition is an invitation to talk about these issues " said Sebastian Errázuriz.
"The beginning of the end" is an exhibition that provokes – without being aggressive – and invites us to reflect on profound issues such as the development of science and technology, democracy and ethical limits, as well as the dangers imply, as can be millions of future unemployed, the destruction of democracy and the emergence of new forms of authoritarianism, and so on.
An impeccable badembly, very careful and neat, is undoubtedly an exhibition to see absolutely. that they are curious at the same time of the big topics of the contingency as well as the technological and artistic developments.
