Hate Discourses An Instalation and Three Hypothesis

Abstract

This article analyzes Diarios del odio, an installation by Roberto Jacoby and Syd Krochmalny, from a triple perspective. In the first place, as a site-specific work that critically dialogues with its location in what was the residence of Victoria Ocampo; secondly, as a work in dialogue with the tradition of visual poetry that allows it to capture and materialize hate speech that circulates on the networks; and finally as a work of media art that reflects on the future of the communicative utopias imagined from the sixties. In all three cases, hatred as contemporary affect is at the center of reflection.
