A Garden in the Andes

Garden Andes, one of the Chilean gardens at Ars Electronica Festival 2021 “A New Digital Deal” (Linz, Austria), organized by La Fabulosa República de la Montaña together with the Corporación Chilena de Video. The Republic of the Mountain is a utopian, decentralized and intangible micronation that appears fleetingly from the foothills of the Andes. In this garden, the presence of the mountain becomes a provocation: to explore and travel through an unknown territory. Directed by Fabián Andrade, curated by Enrique Rivera and produced by Josefina Lagos. With Valentina Rojas, Ignacio Cuevas, White Sample, Angel Quinteros and the Comparsa Chinchin Tirapié, in collaboration with Antonio Cáceres. Selected in the Ars Electronica open call with Chile's Ministry of Cultures and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
