My work “28 Days” is part of a Colombian video art exhibition currently up in the Espacio Fundación Telefónica in Buenos Aires.  Let me know if you are able to see the show since unfortunately I won’t be able to travel!

Mi obra “28 Days” es parte de una exposición de video arte colombiano que está siendo presentada en el Espacio Fundación Telefónica en Buenos Aires.  Avísenme si vio la exposición ya que desafortunadamente no podré viajar!

I was invited to speak tonight at the Ignite NYC event as part of Yahoo’s Open Hack NYC Developer Conference. Here’s a brief description of the talk and I’ve included the PowerPoint presentation below:

Since 2007 I have been involved in an ongoing project through Parsons and The New School in which faculty travel to Guatemala each summer with teams of students to help small Mayan women’s artisan associations to create sustainable income-generating businesses through the sale of their products in global markets.  In this talk I will focus on how my work in one of the towns, San Lucas Tolimán, has been an invitation to slow down, to reconsider my spatial frameworks, and particularly, to question and challenge the good & the bad in our highly mediated networks.

I’ll be presenting in that insane 5-minutes-20-slides-with-15-second-auto-advance format (aka Pecha Kucha) and it seems to be a great lineup of presenters! I’ll post a link to the video once it’s up.  To attend, you can find all the details here (no need to RSVP.)
