Felipe Rivas San Martín1 editions

The book is made up of a set of essays that propose an unprecedented reflection on the recent material turn of digital media in contemporary art, covering 10 years of artistic and activist production by Rivas San Martín, currently based in Spain. Topics such as Grindr, facial recognition algorithms, internet porn, cyberactivism, user interfaces and QR codes, are analyzed from queer theory and media criticism. In this way, the intersection between art and technology is also contaminated through the intersection between sexual dissidence, politics and image, articulating a framework in which the technologies of visual information are promiscuously cited with the technologies of sexuality. The Franco-Chilean art critic Nelly Richard has described this book as a "surprising memoir of work, a lover of complexity and the subtle pleasures of the interstice". Valentina Montero, director of the Platform for Art and Media, defines "Internet, mon amour" as an observation of current information technologies, which reveals the way in which they "condition a dialogue with the universe of signs of our time, at a political level, economic, social and sexual. The Argentine queer researcher and activist Nicolás Cuello, for his part, describes this book as a "cyborg poetics" that proposes a unique way of reflecting on the Internet device from artistic, activist and theoretical practice.
