About the exhibition

Chile’s Techno-Creative Landscape celebrates Chilean innovation and art, showcasing the country’s contribution to the creative industries and technology and their power for promoting development. With the support and co-curation of the Center for the Technological Revolution in Creative Industries (CRTIC), this exhibition proposes new ways of seeing landscapes and intangible heritage as technological and cultural constructs rather than merely physical environments. Through this perspective, it prompts us to explore emerging technologies’ potential to shape our societies and invites us to reimagine our relationship with both the natural and digital worlds.

About No se van los que se aman

Awarded with an honorary mention in the Prix Ars Electronica 2024, No se van los que se aman (“Those Who Love Don’t Leave”) is both a dance work and an installation that cites the collective experience of more than 1,200 detainees who passed through the Chacabuco concentration camp between 1973 and 1975, the first years of the military dictatorship in Chile.

Through a design that skillfully intertwines pre-recorded performance projections and site-specific documentation, this piece offers a poignant narrative on Chacabuco’s memory as a living and present experience, challenging the linear perspective of time.
