"Waldemar Cordeiro: an overview of his pioneering digital art"
Waldemar Cordeiro was an avant-garde Brazilian artist who moved into computers and became one of the leading pioneers of electronic art in the late 1960s. Despite his premature death in 1973, his work in concrete, abstract and computer art provides a fascinating counterpoint to other pioneers of the 1960s. Eduardo Kac will explore his contribution, artworks and importance to the development of this field.

Eduardo Kac is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in telepresence and bio art. A leader in telecommunications art in the pre-Web '80s, Eduardo Kac (pronounced "Katz") emerged in the early '90s with his radical works combining telerobotics and living organisms. Kac’s work is exhibited internationally at museums, galleries and biennials such as Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris; Zendai Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; PAV Contemporary Art Center and Castello di Rivoli, Turin, Italy; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Yokohama Triennale, Japan; Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil; and Gwangju Biennale, Korea, among others. His work is in private and public collections worldwide, such as Museum of Modern Art, New York; Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno, Spain and Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo, Brazil. His solo exhibition, "Kac: Alba & Edunia", is currently on view at Tatiana Kourochkina Galeria d’Art, Barcelona, through March 24, 2012.
