System (Full Length), video art by Miguel Andrés, 2014
Todo sistema precisa de unas bases establecidas que lo sustenten y eviten su colapso. Sin duda el sistema socioeconómico que ampara a los humanos no está exento de dichas reglas.
Para un correcto funcionamiento es preciso programar a los terminales/individuos con las nociones básicas de funcionamiento. Las normas sociales y la religión son sólo algunos, puesto que cualquier estímulo recibido del exterior es asimilado como propio.
Esta pieza pretende ser una alegoría digital (al más puro estilo del siglo XXI) de cómo El Sistema inserta en nosotros las pautas básicas para la perpetuación del mismo. Siendo los propios individuos los que defienden las bases de éste, su Sistema.
ENG
system /ˈsɪstəm/n
a group or combination of interrelated, interdependent, or interacting elements forming a collective entity; a methodical or coordinated assemblage of parts, facts, concepts, etc
any scheme of classification or arrangement
a method or complex of methods
a point of view or doctrine used to interpret a branch of knowledge
the system ⇒ (often capital) society seen as an environment exploiting, restricting, and repressing individuals
operative system ⇒ a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs.
Every system requires a set of established basis that supports it and prevents its collapse. Definitely the socioeconomic system that shelters humans is not exempt from these rules.
For proper operation it requires to program terminals/individuals with the basic notions of operation. Social rules and religion are just some, since any stimulus received from the outside is assimilated as their own.
This work is intended as a digital allegory (in pure 21th century’s style) of how The System inserts in us the basic guideline for its own perpetuation. The same individuals defend the System’s basis, their System.
