- 12 Autonomies: #10 Ricardo Cortés
“For the 20th century artist, the paradigm is to keep learning, always inquiring, always moving. It is no longer about finding a style, or rules, on the contrary, once you have found a place of comfort, you must immediately abandon it and move, and look for something that brings instability, something that puts you at risk”.

- 12 Autonomies: #9 Liliana Quintero
In the 9th vodcast of the 12 Autonomies series, Liliana Quintero presents her standpoint on techno-artistic praxes in Mexico, based on her experience as Head of the Research Workshop at the Multimedia Center:
“It is essential that digital art give up the fascination with technology (…) It is very dangerous when technology becomes the artist’s technique, because at the end of the day all that is created is a technological device, and no art. And that’s where art should have its own strategies.” +

- Contest Winners
The contest was envisaged as an essential strategy for furthering artistic creation, and as a just salutation to the best of artistic production involving the use of electronic media, as well as the reflection upon these media.
The Autonomies of Disagreement edition decided to acknowledge, within the distinct technological displacements and the locus of artistic occurrence, those expressions that conceive technology critically. We aim to evaluate the creative uses of technology in the arts, but also to recognize the possibility of a critical use of technology in the arts. Thus, under the different categories that the contest comprises, a radiograph takes shape, one that displays multiple dissents. +

- 12 Autonomías: #5 Fernando Llanos
“Cuando volteamos a ver a latinoamérica nos entendemos mejor, somos más cercanos en términos de contexto, de historia, de economía, de política. Siempre me gusta voltear más al sur, antes que a otras latitudes, porque ves soluciones hermanas… Es una manera muy bonita de generar sinergia y también de descentralizar los típicos ejes. A mi me interesan las producciones artísticas que son un espejo de su entorno, me parece que hay que ser críticos con el manejo tecnológico.” 12 Autonomías: #5 Fernando Llanos +
