"Souvenir from Southern Crater, Mars” emphasises the impact of digital technologies on the process of creating them as well as their sub- sequent perception and anchoring in memory. This process uses fictional associations and fantasy, using a physical-virtual disconnect in pro- cesses and forms. Under the layer of materiality, questions arise about the transience of nature on the journey that unites the concepts of fiction vs. reality, virtuality vs. physicality, true vs. false, intuition vs. facts, designer vs. artist, individual vs. community. With an aesthetic of science fiction and horror vacui, the work seem to emerge from a neighboring planet. The artwork circumscribes the viewer in a laboratory simulation, in a specu- lative environment, to the ideas and/
or related concepts of matter, organ- isms, science, that which is natural, nature, ecosystems, landscapes, ter- ritories, energy, subsistence, extrac- tion, data, assets, thereby allowing new narratives in light of the interpel- lation of that which is human, objec- tual and natural in the current social and cultural context.
"Souvenir from Southern Crater, Mars” moves between the modified (ar:ficial/technological) and the orig- inal (real/cul:vated) to confuse, mix and re-situate the habitual mecha- nisms of observa:on, representa:on and appearance. Quevedo combine vivid colors with surrealis:c textures, mixing digital and physical codes with gesture in an intriguing affirma:on of life’s synergies.
