n today’s society, the concept of “sustainable development” is used indiscriminately and superficially, applied to almost everything without any real strategy behind it. It has become a buzzword that appeals to immediacy, generating a fleeting concern that often dilutes memory and tradition, and even calls into question the coherence of the term itself.
In this context, the project presented at ARCOmadrid brings together Abel Jaramillo, Adelardo Gil, and Pedro Barateiro to reflect on these tensions. Their works explore the relationship between nature, knowledge, and society from different perspectives.
Jaramillo investigates fire surveillance in León through an audiovisual essay centered on the figure of the “listener”; Gil-Fournier proposes an alternative view of computation based on the observation of nature; and Barateiro, through sculptures and drawings, addresses contemporary disorientation and the relationship between human beings and their environment.
