2018 | Lecture
Art and History of the Digital Divide, Stanford University, California |
“The Fountain of Prosperity” and Fotoformas: Art, Technology and Early Computation in Latin America: Two fields of study converge in this talk. On the one hand, there is the research about the history of media technologies that were proposed or developed in Latin America and their impact in the art world. On the other, the history of early computing –the formative years. My presentation makes the case for intersecting these domains in promising new ways

Asia Culture Forum, Gwangju, Korea |
The city is a highly complex entity, it is impossible to grasp it as one unequivocal concept the urban habitats, or environments”. are in fact the accumulation of the interaction of hundreds of elements that go from infrastructure to mobility, from public space to private space, and today more than ever, from the physical to the virtual and vice versa. Examples of some of the most significant fields related to the arts and technology today are the circumstances in which it is possible to create digital models of the city, whence the city is physically reconstructed, and when art and technology temporarily transform the city at the experience level.

2018 | Art Gallery
SIGGRAPH Art Gallery Chair, Vancouver, Canada |
The exhibition aims to articulate myth and technology, science and art, the deep past and the computational present, and will coalesce around the theme of Origins. Media and technological creative expressions will explore principles such as the origins of cosmos, the origins of life, the origins of human presence on the planet, the origins of people that occupy the territories of the Americas, and the origins of people who are still living in the vast territories of the Arctic.

2018 | Lecture
Color, Light, and Language: Computational Media in Latin America, UC Santa Cruz, California |
Dr. Andres Burbano is a media archeologist who explores the emergence of visual, sonic and computational technologies in Latin America. His research investigates the reasons why and how media technologies developed by Latin American creative technicians, engineers, scientists, and artists are today relatively unknown. Utilizing both a theoretical and experimental approach, his work also involves the creative re-signifying of computational inventions and artifacts. Burbano's artistic output includes documentary video, sound and telecommunication art, and the exploration of algorithmic cinematic narratives, and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaborative work in the field of digital art.

2018 | Lecture
Arqueologías tecnológicas, Buenos Aires, Argentina |
Las configuraciones tecnológicas del presente y la clara identificación sobre su potencial transformador en el futuro nos invitan de manera recurrente a estudiar el pasado para así identificar las interrelaciones complejas entre tecnología, sociedad y geografía. En esta conferencia sobre arqueología de los medios aplicada nos enfocaremos en algunos aspectos de la historia de la computación a nivel global contrastándola con observaciones sobre la historia de los medios y las artes en América Latina.

James Bay Cree in 1973, UC Santa Barbara, California |
A panel discussion in conjunction with The James Bay Cree in 1973, a Library exhibition of photographs by George Legrady.

Punched cards are one of the first icons of the information age and De Barros was one of the firsts artists to incorporate these cards into a work of art. This presentation was possible thanks to the help of Fabiana de Barros and Michelle Favre.

2013 | ISEA2013 | Latin American Forum
Panel inspired by the book “The Music of CSIRAC, Australia’s First Computer Music” by Australian composer Paul Doornbusch. This book had a crucial impact in the understanding of computer music history. In Latin America the contributions to computer music history are not as early as the one described by Doornbusch, however composers like José Vicente Asuar in Chile or Cesar Bolaños in Peru and Argentina, made several important and early aesthetic and technical contributions to the Computer Music field. Participants: Paul Doornbusch (Australia), Ricardo Dal Farra (Argentina, Canada), and Andres Cabrera (Colombia/USA), Andres Burbano (Colombia).

2010 | Media Arts and Tech Seminar | TA
The seminar consists of talks by experts in various areas of media arts, multimedia systems, media technology, and related areas of research and practice. There will be a mix of speakers, from UCSB and from outside, with a variety of backgrounds, including computer science, engineering, art, and music. Occasionally we will schedule discussion or brainstorming sessions instead of a talk.

2005 | Polaroids: Aesthetic, Biology and Technology, Articulating Latin America at NYU
Burbano will talk about the ideas which conform the text "polaroids: aesthetic,
biology and technology, articulating Latin America". These ideas were not planned
to conform a text, but to link to a documentary production". Despite this, it is
important to share some reflections of this research process on the complex
relationship between art and biotechnology, and the multiple facets that this
problematic field shows in Latin America. As an Assistant Professor part of the
Art Department as well as the Technology and Society Group at Universidad de los
Andes in Bogota, Colombia, his interests are working in a common space on the
intersection between artistic, social and technological reflections. He has also
studied cinema with an emphasis on documentary film making. Furthermore, he has been
a guest researcher at Zentrum fur Kunst and Medientechnologie Karlsruhe in Germany (2004 2005)"

2005 | Contemporary Internet Art in Latin America at North Carolina University
Sponsored by: The University Program in Cultural Studies, The Cultures of Science and
Technology Working Group, The UNC-Duke Modernity/Coloniality and the Geopolitics of
Knowledge Working Group, and the Institute of Latin American Studies, ILAS
Brief description of the presentation: This presentation analyzes recent experiences
of net.art in the Latin American context, including collective net(art)working,
the sense of immersion in the internet environment, and the concept of no-audience
(no-audiencia): the fact that there are no observers, only participants of/in interactive
processes. Attention is also given to the various readings that become possible because
of the non-linearity inherent to the medium. Some of these points will be illustrated
with examples from the work of Latin American artists."

2004 | Observations about Documents and Documentation at ZKM
Studied the concepts of an audio-visual genre based on the re-interpretation and
new processing of audio-visual »documents«. The aim is to question whether
the transference of these concepts to digital information is at all possible due to
its documentary character. The aspects to be observed are various methods such as
archiving, interpreting, and processing of the material. Two concrete project examples
will be presented: Quiasma and Ways of Neuron. The Quiasma group is supported by
Canada Daniel Langlois foundation. The interdisciplinary media artist and researcher
Andrés Burbano is presently guest researcher at the ZKM | Institute
for Basic Research
