Thinking about art separately from the contemporary cultural and communicative transformations that influence the daily lives of most people prevents an understanding of the meaning of their own unease and impasses. The key to these cultural changes lies in a technological mutation that disrupts ways of being together – both at the local and national level, which are still the spaces of politics – by affecting our perceptions of space and time, forms of work, and ways of knowing. The relationship between art and politics, today, passes less through partisan and ideological positions and more through demands for political visibility and sociocultural recognition.
