"...I very much wanted the beginning of the piece to take place outside in the street and then come inside into museum. Sound changes and connections between the outer and the inner are important elements.."

ArteBA, a contemporary art fair in its 15th year, showcases leading national and foreign galleries and attracts collectors, cultural representatives and visitors from around the world.
It is the most important cultural-commercial event in the region, and one of the most exciting weeks to be in the city to experience cultural activities and social events. ArteBA will take place at La Rural, Yellow and Red Pavilions, 4476 Cervina Avenue/ 2704 Sarmiento Avenue.
Codes of Culture, Video Art from 7 Continents presents diverse perspectives on the power that cultural codes have in societies.
The work ranges from observations of people acting within the patterns of cultural norms, to per formative public interventions that playfully break through the walls of conventions.
The work speaks of the tension between collective cultural identity and one driven by individual concerns; the manipulation of the codes in advertising and politics; and the impact of human patterns of consumption on the environment.
New codes of culture are evolving in adaptation to the technological revolution, altering our perception and daily patterns.
This suggests the possibility of a future of post human forms of existence and remodeling of the human body, mind and consciousness.
