Abstract

The turn of the millennium inaugurated a new phase in the history of humanity. From the post- boom of the ’90s, we moved to a new global consciousness, a product of cybernetics and ecological catastrophe. Humanity faces a crisis of futurity. The work of Signa Lab reflects this global turn in both its cybernetic and environmental aspects. Over three decades, the work of its founder, Rossana Reguillo, has been marked by the same political commitment and the same urgent concern about the persistence of violence, fears, atrocity, visuality, now articulated by technopolitics.
