Keywords:
technology, art, poeticsAbstract
Technics and art are two dimensions that open a wide range of problems and areas of theorization that goes over the entire field of human sciences. The twentieth century has been a period in which both spheres have constantly strained regional political configurations from the specific functions of technology, and from the nodes that this one has generated with arts. This paper presents a review of the book Tecnopoéticas Argentinas: archivo blando de arte y tecnología; where the transdisciplinary research group, coordinated by Claudia Kozak, approaches the intersection between the poetic/political, the technical world and the history in the Argentine context of the twentieth century. The book lets to construct routes through an archive that shows how arts have shaped paradoxical grammatical forms taking electricity, valves, screens, telecommunications, softwares and the cyberspace as poetic elements. It is an archive presented from a particular structure that permits transversal readings where are visible the curves and political meanings of links between art and technology in the Argentine context.
