Dear colleagues,
Today i am sending an article we published after a new edition of the Festival THE INFLUENCERS we held here at CCCB: James Bridle: Technology Is Politics
The development of the information society is based on the more or less conscious belief that technology in itself improves people's lives. It's a plausible narrative, but one that does not always take into account the more controversial - and little debated - aspects of this historical and cultural process. The work of artist and writer James Bridle is situated on the less visible side of the digital revolution and puts some of its excesses under the spotlight. With his work, this British artist advocates the duty of citizens to shape progress in the face of the lights and shadows of the digital revolution. Taking advantage of his visit to the CCCB as a guest at The Influencers festival, we review his most prominent projects.

I would also like to tell you about the new exhibition we opened yesterday AFTER THE END OF THE WORLD: http://www.cccb.org/en/exhibitions/file/after-the-end-of-the-world/224747
After the End of the World is an exhibition about the Earth of 2017 irreversibly transformed into the Anthropoceneplanet after two centuries of human impact on natural systems. But it is also an exhibition about how we will reach the world of the latter half of the 21st century, and about our society's responsibility to the generations who will be born and grow up in it.
Curators: José Luis de Vicente
Artists: Benjamin Grant, Natalie Jeremijenko, Charles Lim, Timothy Morton, Rimini Protokoll, Kim Stanley Robinson, Tomás Saraceno, Superflux, Unknown Fields Division
