Brazilian art pioneer Waldemar Cordeiro was one of South America’s first computer artists. His treatise on arteônica—a compound of the words “art” and “electronic” and the title of an exhibition he organized in 1971—frames the computer as an instrument for positive societal change, one that could democratize art and culture. ARTEONICA* revisits this little-known Latin American art movement, creating a dialogue between a group of pioneering computer artists from the 1960s and 1970s and Latin American contemporary artists whose work responds to their legacy.
