Join us for an artist talk and Q&A with Mariela Yeregui on Tuesday, November 10 at 6:00 p.m. in Fine Arts B (FAB) 105.Mariela Yeregui is an Argentine artist, researcher and educator; and a pioneering figure in the field of electronic and digital arts in Latin America. Since the late 1990s, her practice has explored the relationships between technologies, materialities, bodies and social entanglements through installations, interactive devices, robotics, electronic textiles, moving images and participatory practices.
Her work approaches technology from a critical perspective, challenging technocratic imaginaries and dominant narratives of innovation. Grounded in situated practices, her research seeks to dismantle, reconfigure and reinvent the relationships between art and technology; opening up alternative modes of perception, interaction and coexistence with the environment. Her projects investigate the sensory, political and relational dimensions of technological practices; attending to their materialities, tensions and poetic potentialities.
Yeregui’s work has been exhibited internationally in museums, biennials and festivals across Latin America, Europe and the United States. She has received numerous distinctions, including the Henry Moore First Prize (2025), the Konex Award in Art and New Media, the First Prize of the Argentine National Salon of Visual Arts and the BEEP Electronic Art Award. Her work is held in public and institutional collections, including the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, the RISD Museum, Argentina’s National Art Collection, the BEEP Collection in Spain and the Henry Moore collection.
Yeregui is a Professor in the Digital + Media Department at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and the founder and former director of the MA in Technology and Aesthetics of Electronic Arts at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero in Argentina. Her artistic practice intertwines research, writing and teaching; embracing a transdisciplinary perspective that brings together material experimentation, critical thinking and the collective production of knowledge.
