This project explores one of the most innovative and exciting developments in cultural production of the Americas in recent years: the new cultural forms being developed at the interface between literary-artistic expression and new media technologies. These include networked installations, online video art, digital story-telling and tactical media, amongst others, and typically involve features such as multimedia components, hyperlinking, interactivity and computer-generated images, as well as drawing on existing, pre-digital genres such as experimental poetry, visual art, installation art, and performance art. Focussing on the emergent community of Latin(o) American online cultural producers whose work falls under the broad category of net.art, the project investigates how their work, from the 1990s onwards, has been engaged in interrogating some of the central concerns of Latin(o) American identity through their on- and offline cultural practice. In order to acheive this, the project has selected as case studies seven works by net.artists from different countries within Latin(o) America which depict particular iconic locales in the Latin(o) American imaginary, and explores how these locales are re-defined or imagined differently by these net.artists through their use of new media technologies. These locales include the cartography of Latin America, and the specifics of the Malvinas conflict; Mercosur, as both a geographical mapping and as a neoliberal practice; the Plaza de Mayo and the image of the port city as defining Argentine identity; the Colombian terrain as a contested territory between opposing forces; the US-Mexico border as both physical and conceptual space; the streets and the barrio as the configuration of Latino identity in the US; and finally the configuration of globalization and the global South as representative of a Latino American identity in the era of late capitalism. The project analyzes these works in order to explore, firstly, how new cultural forms, such as hypermedia fiction or game art, build upon, or, conversely, challenge existing literary, cultural or artistic forms, exploring to what extent these new cultural forms foster greater interaction and 'wreaderly' (Landow 1997) participation. Secondly, the project analyses the role that these online cultural forms play within the Latin(o) American imaginary more specifically, investigating how Latin(o) American cultural producers make tactical use of the interplay between virtual and real space to construct new formulations of territorial identity. That is, since networked digital media offers the possibilities of rethinking place and territory, the project looks at how Latin(o) American net.artists make creative use of this possibility to engage in the interrogation of and the re-shaping of some of the central place-based metaphors of what it means to be Latin(o) American in the contemporary world. Thirdly, the project explores how Latin(o) American net.arts re-use globalizing technologies and post-digital fragments to their own ends, in order to question the socio-political effects of new media technologies, and provide space for the expression of cultural memory.

该项目探讨了近年来美洲文化生产中最具创新性和令人兴奋的发展之一：在文学艺术表达和新媒体技术之间的界面上开发的新文化形式。这些包括网络装置，在线视频艺术，数字讲故事和战术媒体等，通常涉及多媒体组件，超链接，交互性和计算机生成的图像等功能，以及借鉴现有的前数字流派，如实验诗歌，视觉艺术，装置艺术，该项目关注拉丁美洲在线文化制作人的新兴社区，他们的作品福尔斯属于www.example.com的大类net.art，该项目调查了他们的作品如何从20世纪90年代开始，一直致力于通过他们的线上和线下文化实践来询问拉丁美洲人身份的一些核心问题。为了实现这一目标，该项目选择了来自拉丁美洲不同国家的七位网络艺术家的作品作为案例研究，这些作品描绘了拉丁美洲想象中的特定标志性场所，并探讨了这些场所是如何被这些网络艺术家通过使用新媒体技术重新定义或想象的。这些地点包括拉丁美洲的地图绘制和马尔维纳斯冲突的具体情况;南方共同市场，既是一种地理制图，也是一种新自由主义做法;马约广场和港口城市的形象界定了阿根廷的身份;哥伦比亚地形是对立势力之间的争议领土;美墨边界既是物理空间，也是概念空间;街道和巴里奥作为拉丁美洲人在美国的身份配置;最后，全球化和全球南方的配置作为晚期资本主义时代拉丁美洲人身份的代表。该项目分析这些作品，以探索，首先，新的文化形式，如超媒体小说或游戏艺术，如何建立，或相反，挑战现有的文学，文化或艺术形式，探索在何种程度上这些新的文化形式促进更大的互动和“wreaderly”（Landow 1997）的参与。其次，该项目分析了这些在线文化形式在拉丁美洲想象中发挥的作用，更具体地说，调查拉丁美洲文化生产者如何巧妙地利用虚拟和真实的空间之间的相互作用来构建新的领土身份。也就是说，由于网络数字媒体提供了重新思考地方和领土的可能性，该项目着眼于拉丁美洲艺术家如何创造性地利用这种可能性，参与审问和重新塑造一些以地方为基础的中心隐喻，即拉丁美洲在当代世界中的意义。第三，该项目探讨了拉丁美洲网络艺术如何重新利用全球化技术和后数字碎片来达到自己的目的，以质疑新媒体技术的社会政治影响，并为文化记忆的表达提供空间。
