In this project, complemented by an educational programme for primary school teachers and students, the great artist Luis Camnitzer (born in 1937 in Lübeck, Germany, a citizen of Uruguay and the United States) explores the creative and pedagogical possibilities of artificial intelligence. Far from the fear that this technology often arouses, the artist uses it as a tool for thinking and learning. Through it, he imagines a dialogue set in the present day with the Venezuelan philosopher Simón Rodríguez, Bolívar’s teacher and champion of the emancipatory power of education. Camnitzer is a key figure in Latin American conceptual art and a seminal thinker in the study of the relationship between art and radical pedagogies. Todo por aprender [Everything to Learn] presents art as a space for experimentation and shared knowledge, a space where creating is also a way of learning and freeing critical imagination.
