The Elephant Never Forgets
The Elephant Never Forgets is a major multimedia installation in the form of an uncanny backstage TV studio lot by Daniel Arturo Almeida (b. 1992, Caracas, Venezuela / lives Miami) and Adrian Edgard Rivera (b. 1991, Austin, Texas / lives New York). Drawing from "la vecindad," the iconic setting of the 1970s sitcom "El Chavo del Ocho," and other historical and contemporary references from the artists' experience of Mexican and Venezuelan mass media, the immersive installation traces Latin American media history to lay bare the socio-political intricacies of memory through themes of transnational telecommunications, piracy as access/agency, the public broadcast theatrics of authoritarianism, constructed memories, and soft power.
Supported in part by Funding Arts Network, the exhibition is also a Knight Digital Commission with nearly every element of the exhibition created using the novel application of digital tools and technology, including 3D printing, laser cutting, artificial intelligence (AI), image transfer, and holographic projection.
