The
kiosk, which must be view as architectural designed sculpture building,
is a combination of Mayan, colonial and technological styles. It combines,
in a black iron wooden structure, geometric Mayan elements such as the
pyramid, the square and the circle with a replica of colonial iron windows
and a white iMac. The mobile structure allows the ephemeral transformation
of the old geo-political territory within the contemporary referents of

The
project must be understood as a network narrative where the physical and
the virtual components create the “whole”. In the physical space,
there is an installation consisting of: 1) a network linking an interactive
kiosk with a hard drive , DVD projector, four computers and an internet
site; 2) an iron cast/DVD installation surrounded by the four computers;
3) digital graphics/photographs; 4) a performing space; 5) an audio station;
6) DVD with monitors; 7) a model of an imagined territory called “Futura
T’ho”; 8) artworks created by the collaborating artists, 9)
an artist book and 10) the simulacrum of a tourist shop.
