STATEMENT

This procedural artwork consisted of a “computer literacy” advertising campaign, aimed at creating “social nodes” throughout the Island of Cuba to establish public Facebook profiles for “disconnected” individuals, and to post a thought, opinion, message, or phrase that each person chose to make visible on their wall.

Durability of the Work

Facts was a project carried out in Cuba between 2014 and 2016, a period during which internet access was very difficult for all Cubans; largely due to the cost, which made it unaffordable for the average person, in addition to restrictions and censorship.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Facts had three forms of presentation:

The first and most important was a Facebook page named Facts, where news related to the project was posted. It also updated new Facebook users who registered through Facts.

The second was through the presentation of documents (forms) that had been obtained to date in exhibitions.

The third was through talks and conferences.
