Art and Technology
Fundación Telefónica encourages dialogue between art, technology and creation, supporting technological innovation in art and new media. In particular, it promotes projects of this nature produced in Latin America.
For some years now, Fundación Telefónica has been committed to the idea that the interaction between contemporary art, new technologies and creation should be one of its lines of action, both internally and externally, through the organizations affiliated by collaboration agreements.
The Art & Technology program has become a place of meeting and dialogue between these disciplines. Fundación Telefónica understands that encouraging the crossover between various types of artistic, technical and scientific expression, will allow it to bring about the spread of new technological tools, while also contributing to social development in countries where it operates. The result can be an up-to-date and emergent cultural and educational vision in these countries, one based on creativity, knowledge and innovation.
For this reason, every year the Foundation runs an ambitious program of high quality international artistic and cultural activities.
