Art in Antarctica
Art in Antarctica is a cultural programme created out of the need to take responsibility for protecting the heritage of the Antarctic continent and the environment of our planet.
Over the course of previous editions, artists from a wide range of nationalities and artistic disciplines have taken part. Among the artistic and technological projects, Argentine artist and engineer Joaquín Fargas, who was part of the 2014 edition of Technarte, had the opportunity to participate in the 2011 edition of the Art in Antarctica programme, where he developed his project Utopia, a quixotic battle against the melting of the Antarctic continent.
Likewise, other projects based on technologies such as microscopic photography and interaction with light and the Antarctic environment have been featured in previous editions of the programme.
