My name is Luciana Ponte and I was born on 18 | 1 | 81 in the city of NeuqueN, it seems to me that this is why I like capicua terms and palindromes, even if they are syllables. A recurring theme in my projects is exploring the relationship between “art” and “the audience,” delving into the idea of a lack of communication or understanding between the artistic field and its public (issues of mediation, translation, availability or access to information), or experimenting with freely accessible resources and tools that people use to express themselves, pondering where art is, where the audience is, and who the authors are. I also enjoy relating this idea of miscommunication to the interpersonal disconnection that we are all experiencing in the midst of the communications era, alluding to superficial connections and feelings of loneliness and isolation that have become the new norm in these times. The thirst for attention is a cry of solitude. I like to play with contradictions between notions of the virtual vs. the real, sincerity vs. falsehood, fiction vs. documentary, pedagogy vs. satire, handmade vs. prefabricated, original vs. copy, public vs. private, personal vs. collective.
