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>
