<div class="moz-forward-container"> Cuban Virtualities: New Media
Art from the Island<br>
<p>A scarcity of resources coupled with the intellectual pursuits
of a highly educated population has dramatically shaped Cuban
new media art made over the past 10 years. The effects of such
limited access to digital technologies and the Internet on the
island – compounded by a situation of extreme geographic,
political, and economic isolation – has necessitated an array of
creative solutions from a generation of artists born largely
during the 1970s and 1980s.</p>
<p>Works by Mauricio Abad, Alexander Arrechea, Celia y Yunior,
Núria Güell, Jairo Gutierrez, Ernesto Leal, Glenda Léon, Levi
Orta, Rodolfo Peraza, Naivy Pérez, Susana Pilar Delahante
Matienzo, and José Rolando Rivera examine the unique
applications of digital technologies in Cuban art through video
installations, net art, performance documentation, and
interactive media.<br>
