The Machine at the Forefront of Chilean
Abstract
This article on authors from the Chilean avant-garde examines the representation of the machine on the periphery of the modern world. Excluded from a rural life due to the colonial conditions, it was rejected in the city because it replaced God as metaphysical foundation and was at the same time championed as an indication of future modernity. In art, the machine was received as an icon of the new epocah and as an instrument which enabled the artist to reveal new worlds, to search for prophetic powers and to discover his own self.
