| 23 de Enero/Constitution, Print To link two productive processes of Caracas -- 23 de Enero and the new Constitution -- we altered an aerial image of 23 de Enero with software we developed. Through this process, the aerial image of 23 de Enero is reconstructed with text characters and the entire Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The aerial photograph mimics the scopic regime of a modernism which sought to rationalize spatial relations, yet the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venzuela aims at an opposing view which tries to build a participatory democracy from the streets up. 23 de Enero represents the trransformation from modernist rationality to an insurgent urbanism – an insurgency made through the politics of its inhabitants. This work is shown in the Bellas Artes Metro Station, in the Nichos Culturales with the kind support of the Metro De Caracas. |
