Abstract
This project arises from two specific concerns. The first one, to educate in the fact that the material means and the different contexts in which a work of art is born condition the work itself. The second, this does not make a proposal without budget or that arises from a situation of minimums to be less valuable; on the contrary. The basic issue is not to try to imitate high-resolution images with resources that do not fit them, but to think of an aesthetic logic that does not create the visual hierarchies that make us desire these results in the first instance. Thus, we can find tools and ways of expression very rich in the edges, without the need of an economic investment. To discover them we will use as a tool the concept of “poor image” created by the artist and theorist Hito Steyerl. From it, we will review notions of image hierarchies and we will try to question them from referents such as Arthur Jafa, Phil Solomon or Erlea Maneros Zabala.
