Daniel García Andújar is an artist, activist and theorist. He was a historical member of irational.org (an important international reference for net.art). In 1996 he set up Technologies To The People (TTTP). The goal of this fictitious web-based company is, as he put it, 'to make us aware of the reality around us and the fraudulence of promises of free choice that inevitably turn into new forms of control and inequality'. It also provides a framework for other lines of action, including platforms for debate on cultural policies (such as e-barcelona.org and e-valencia.org) and the Postcapital Archive1989-2001, an extensive list of online audio clips, texts and images. Taking these registers — which tend towards the indeterminate and the infinite — as his starting point, Andújar invites us to reflect on the conditions of production, distribution and accumulation of images in the contemporary world.
In 2015, a retrospective exhibition of Daniel G. Andújar's work was held at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid. His projects have also been shown in museums and institutions such as the Castilla y León Museum of Modern Art (León, 2011); the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Seoul, 2010); and the Württembergischer Kunstverein (Stuttgart, Germany, 2008). He has exhibited at leading international events, such as Manifesta 4 (Frankfurt, Germany, 2002); the Catalan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2009); and Documenta Kassel/Athens (2017).
