Abstract
Keywords: Electronic Art, Emotions, Pre-Hispanic Mexico, Indigenous Cosmogony, Environment
We delve into the social circumstances that have influenced contemporary electronic art, the rejection of foreign stereo-types, and how the involvement of culture has gained im-portance. Mexican electronic artists have drawn upon pre-Co-lumbian Mexican cultures as a means to communicate envi-ronmental and social concerns. These cultures held a pro-found respect for the natural environment, prompting reflec-tion on art and its vast potential to generate insights into press-ing social issues.
