The selection of works made by Carlos Basualdo, an Argentine curator based in the United States since the early 1990s, together with Patricia Martín, Mexican curator of La Colección Jumex, prioritizes video installations, large-format photographs and films, with the aim of updating the Argentine public and examining the new uses of the image by artists and the various modalities of the current relationship between artistic production and technology.

This publication features texts by curator Carlos Basualdo and by authors with extensive and renowned theoretical and critical work on new media. It also includes analytical profiles of the artists in the exhibition and a large collection of images.
