In the center of the installation, a 16 -meter -long collective work table stands out, an architectural gesture that questions the ways in which technological decisions are made in the country.

“At a time when Chile is positioned as a strategic actor in the development of digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence, this installation reminds us that behind each cable, server and algorithm, there are territories, bodies and communities that are not always on the table,” said the curators.
The exhibition, which will remain open until November 23 at the Arsenale de Venice, responds to the so -called curatorial of Carlo Ratti, director of this edition of the Biennial, who under the slogan “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective” invites you to rethink the interactions between artificial intelligence, nature and society.

The proposal was curated by Cristóbal Molina, representative of Chile before the Biennial.
