Operating system. Daniel G. Andújar

Through interventions in public space and a critical use of digital media and the communication strategies of the corporations connected to it, the theoretical and artistic work developed by Daniel G. Andújar (Almoradí, Alicante, 1966) oscillates between territories that are real (the city) and virtual (the Net). He sets out from the premise that when displaying/dissecting the connections found between both, the inequalities that generate social and power relations are envisaged in a context like the current one.

Operating System presents diverse projects, including a new set of works, Andújar has undertaken over the course of his artistic career to build a corpus that reveals the main constants running through his critical and creative discourse. For instance, projects such as the seminal Technologies To The People (1994) or the installation Individual Citizen Republic Project¿: El Sistema (x-devian) (2003), which call into question instrumentalization for speculative ends and/or the social control of communication technologies, triggering the need for us to gain awareness of the dangers and paradoxes of the emancipatory discourse that has been constructed around them.
