| Diğer Bilgiler: | Introduction: Drawing on contributions from the Philosophy of technology and the ontological turn, this paper examines various machine configurations developed within the field of contemporary Latin American art. Objective: The study analyzes, from formal, technical, material, and conceptual perspectives, a selection of artworks that subvert the behavior of the modern machine, established since the Industrial Revolution as a productive, efficient, and utilitarian artifact. Methods: The analysis adopted a qualitative methodology based on bibliographic survey, theoretical systematization, critical inquiry of the works, and fieldwork with an ethnographic approach consisting of semi-structured interviews with the artists and direct observations. Results: Two lines of production are identified: artworks that constitute useless machines and artifacts that establish a new ontology of machine devoted to non-instituted purposes. Conclusions: Both lines displace the anthropocentric primacy and advocate for the ontological equality of machines, which assume active roles in a network of dynamic relations with human and non-human agencies. |
