Artist Statement

We, Technologies to the People®, feel like right now there's a real fetishization of the new technologies, but we don't know about the kind of access people really have to them. There's the idea that this is a space that is a democracy and everybody comes here onto an equal playing field. We don't see it.

We think that Technologies to the People® problematizes and widens the problems of technological access and question us to rethink this. It's a metaphor about "all the people are connected" while acting as a public provocation. Today, and this is increasing, to have access to information and resources, it's necessary to to be connected. But not everybody has access to the mediums. Who could have real access to the technology? Will a new division be opened between "inforich" and "infopoor" people? How can we avoid this abyss of separation? Are we at the beginning of a new global colonization? How could it affect the future? What can we do to include more "class of people" in the new information global infrastructure?
