Digital Art in Brazil: A look at the history of exhibitions

Abstract

This paper draws a cartography of digital art in Brazil by focusing on the dialog between pioneer productions of media art and a few recent ones. What changed in the exhibition circuits and in the curatorial strategies of this production in its current context, if we compare it with the context of the beginnings of art and technology in Brazil? For this purpose we will analyze the history of the exhibitions as an interdisciplinary field. That is, we will survey the curatorship of digital art in Brazil, especially those developed in São Paulo, in order to contribute to a critical reflection of these productions in the Brazilian context.
