El aleteo de un Colibrí

Artist: Samanta Berberian

To carry out this work, take as reference the work: Hummingbird, which is one of the first computer-animated films. To make this animation, more than 30,000 individual images were drawn using a microfilm plotter. Each frame was programmed using a punch card, an example of the complex and laborious operations required by early computer animation.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

“The work of art is no longer in the object proposed by the artist.” The story is the common point of these multiple ways of projecting the work beyond the object.

The object is just a pretext, like an activator that will induce actions.

…because those objects are nothing outside the context of contemporary art,… that give it meaning and condition. “The concept of the work is the work”, because “Ideas are considered works and are claimed as such by artists.” “They need to be accompanied by explanations, statements or instructions given by him.”

“Contemporary art has become, essentially, an art of telling”
