This article addresses the construction of Latin American imaginaries of modernization in relation to the technical developments that have arisen by the beginning of the 20th century. It also studies the way in which the glorification of technology produced a strong impact on the avant-garde in the visual arts and literature. After analyzing the attraction of European avant-gardes movements towards Technique, this essay argues that in our region several works of art questioned the uncritical exaltation of the machine. Instead, they proposed local artistic languages based on the notions of utopia and invention. The article concludes by stating that the glorification of technology, utopia and invention are concepts that not only enable to articulate different poetic, political and techno-scientific conceptions that have gradually appeared on the local scene, but they also contribute to build bridges between the artworks of the first avant-gardes and the emergencies of contemporary art.
El presente artículo analiza la construcción de los imaginarios de modernización latinoamericanos configurados en torno a los desarrollos técnicos advenidos a principios del siglo XX, así como el modo en que cierta glorificación tecnológica impactó en las artes visuales y la literatura de vanguardia. Luego de rastrear la atracción ejercida por la técnica en algunos movimientos de vanguardia europeos, el trabajo sostiene que en nuestra región diversas obras cuestionaron la exaltación acrítica de la máquina y propusieron, en cambio, lenguajes vernáculos basados en las nociones de utopía e invención. El artículo concluye que glorificación técnica, utopía e invención son conceptos que no solo permiten articular las diferentes concepciones poéticas, políticas y tecno-científicas que poco a poco fueron gestándose en la escena local, sino que también posibilitan tender puentes entre las obras de las primeras vanguardias y las emergencias del arte contemporáneo.
