Paula Proaño Mesias’ work reflects on various technological structures, as well as their cultural and political dimensions, exploring the tensions between the human and the non-human. Through this, she questions how this dichotomy affects ways of cohabiting and the structuring of the world-system. Using diverse media such as performance, sculpture, video, and installation, she evaluates … Continued
