This text explores this territory between the 1990s and 2010, a period of digital enthusiasm, transnational solidarity, and the exploration of non-human languages.

Since the early beginnings of the leap to shared digitality we have seen a creative surge that has led to the confrontation with or rupture of various paradigms. However, the ways in which we approach production from and for the Internet have a long tradition in explorations such as mail art, textile work, poetry, and performance.<\/p>\n<p>In Mexico, this tradition is rooted in concrete poetry, mail art, and the first experiments with personal computers in the 1980s. It is precisely from these ideas that artists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/liliaperez.art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lilia P\u00e9rez-Romero<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minervacuevas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minerva Cuevas, <\/a>Fernando Llanos, and Tlaolli Arg\u00fcello redirected their gaze to the screen and, more specifically, to the Internet as a site for collective exploration.<\/p>\n<p>A fundamental space for understanding this development is S@l\u00f3n, a project based in San Miguel de Allende which, between 1994 and 2003, was dedicated to observing, disseminating, and experimenting with net art practices in Mexico. One of the most significant milestones in its history was Documenta X in 1997, an edition that marked the first official inclusion of net art in the exhibition program and which also hosted the First Cyberfeminist International, organized by the Old Boys Network collective. In addition to this event, S@l\u00f3n presented projects from institutions such as the Dia Art Foundation and Gallery 9 at the Walker Art Center, which were shown at the Estaci\u00f3n Internet cybercaf\u00e9 in San Miguel de Allende.<\/p>\n<p>The sociopolitical context of the 1990s, marked by enthusiasm for the democratic and community potential of the early Internet, was decisive for the emergence of initiatives that explored new forms of production, communication, and community within the art world. Amid this climate of digital experimentation and online activism, projects also began to take shape that understood virtual space as a territory for political and symbolic action.<\/p>\n<p>A paradigmatic example of this shift was the creation of FloodNet (1998) by the collective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thing.net\/~rdom\/ecd\/EDTECD.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electronic Disturbance Theater 1.0<\/a> <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_78128_1('footnote_plugin_reference_78128_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_78128_1('footnote_plugin_reference_78128_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_78128_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_78128_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Electronic Disturbance Theater 1.0 (EDT) is an art and activism collective founded in 1997 by Ricardo Dom\u00ednguez, Carmin Karasic, Brett Stalbaum and Stevan Wray.

This space was initially dedicated to the exhibition of on-screen works linked to net art, video, software art, video games and other hybrid practices, incorporating over time sound art as part of its programming. Directed and curated by Arc\u00e1ngelo Constantini, the project presented exhibitions, talks, residencies and live presentations that fostered dialogue between different technological and artistic languages.<\/p>\n<p>The Cyberlounge activities included in-person net art navigations, video exhibitions accessible from the museum patio, meetings between artists, curators and specialists, as well as short residencies in which sound artists experimented with the public space of the Tamayo. Among the participants were Brian Mackern, Erandy Vergara and B\u00e1rbara Perea. However, as Constantini has pointed out, the museum did not keep an adequate record of the activities carried out, which has made its study difficult and left a void in the institutional memory about a crucial stage in the history of art + technology in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>This process of institutionalization and professionalization found its correlation in the educational field. Around 2006, El Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey launched a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Animation and Digital Art, a program with a focus oriented towards the creative industry. More critical and experimental initiatives followed, such as the Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Digital Art at the Faculty of Arts of the UAEM\u00e9x (2011) and the Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Digital Art and Communication at the UAM Lerma (2013). The consolidation of these programs, along with the creation of the Digital Culture Center (2012), transformed the panorama from a territory of exploration on the margins to artistic practices with digital technologies that began to be institutionalized in Mexico as a field of study and creation.<\/p>\n<p>By 2010, practices linked to Internet use were beginning to emerge in an interconnected wave. The enthusiasm of early net art gave way to criticism of platforms and the appropriation of social networks. Works and processes, such as those of Anni Garza Lau and the <em>Astrovandalistas<\/em> collective, echoed a genealogy that, from the margins and the screen, had been forming for years around the critical, poetic and political possibilities of digital technology.<\/p>\n<p>This collective screenshot is, above all, a series of fragmented stories that seek to make sense of the journey of these practices in Mexico. The current panorama is exciting and there are many who continue surfing (myself included) on this strange surfboard that, sometimes in a subtle and sometimes in an intense way, sustains us in a sea of 0&#8217;s and 1&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Constantini, Arc\u00e1ngelo.
