Elastic Force

The project problematizes how our sensibility has been shaped by the mass media and the equally massive structures of technological aesthetics—such as the case of neon color or pixels—with an influence not only on appreciation, but also on creation. In the latter case, what this project seeks is to highlight the material manifestation of this aesthetic, its color and its relative independence with respect to the canon of form. The project takes as its starting point a toy used in childhood: the spring. This is a colorful object, also known as a slinky or magic spiral. It is a tubular spring that can be used by passing it from one hand to the other constantly, or by letting it go down “only” the stairs, among other ways.

Artist review

She has developed his artistic work mainly around pictorial processes in relation to new technologies that lead to new social and contextual relationships. She has been interested in studying different cultural expressions, for example, video games, the consumption of sweets, toys and social networks, seeking to understand how their visual manifestations are structured and what their plastic possibilities are. She has shown her work individually in Colombia and Iceland and has participated in group exhibitions in Colombia, Bolivia, Finland and the United States. In 2017 she participated in two colloquiums on phenomenology and performance in Argentina, with her project Tribu Candy. Most recent individual exhibitions: Paleta (Galería Nueveochenta Project Room, 2022) and Ctrl+p (ASAB Exhibition Hall, 2020). She studied Plastic Arts at the National University of Colombia (2006) and the Master's Degree in Plastic, Electronic and Time Arts at the University of Los Andes (2019). She is currently studying the Interinstitutional Doctorate in Education at the National Pedagogical University. She works as an artist in independent creative projects and as a teacher at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Los Andes and the Bachelor of Visual Arts at the National Pedagogical University.
