Speaking of Ventipertrenta [www.ventipertrenta.org] is talking about breaking paradigm. With this form of contemporary art in digital form [20 x 30 cm], approaching the change in production technique. The “canvas” is a screen and brushes are mouse and keyboard. The process is closed, with the use of analogic media, printing of images and exposure.
And since the end of 60 years at the beginning of 70, when the digital art extends worldwide. In almost half a century of practice, every day wider, remains a controversial concept among experts and public.
In Ventipertrenta presents the work of 30 digital artists. It presents for the first time in Mexico, thanks to the invitation of the Government of the State of Zacatecas, through the Institute of Culture Zacatecanos, Ramón López Velarde.

The artists were selected among all the participants in three editions produced in Italy, including the winners from the international jury and awarded by the public, through surveys.
The exhibition Room of the Zacatecas Cineteca, as part of National Fair Zacatecas 2008, is for Ventipertrenta the ideal space of a new society – pending the emergence of various artistic and sensitive to promoting art and culture – that uses technology to extend its potential, through dialogue and human growth.
What are the sensitivities that Terra dell’Arte, creator of the concept, design and curatorship of Ventipertrenta, aims to promote in each of its projects.
