Desea apagar el sistema
Damián Monti Falicoff
Curated by Julia Levstein

If technology is an appendix or extension of memory, Desea apagar el sistema seeks to explore the blurred edges between physical memory and RAM memory of those who experienced the incorporation of the computer into the triple w of their daily lives.
