Datos Helados | Río de La Plata is a site-specific installation that expands the ongoing Datos Helados research, exploring the relationship between data, meaning, memory, and territory within the context of the Río de la Plata, understood as a cultural, geopolitical, and aesthetic interface.

The work is structured around a speculative axis: to consider data not merely as information, but as living matter with agency capable of settling, eroding, and transforming just like geological landscapes or the bodies that inhabit its shores and its abysses.

As in the estuary, data currents overflow the structures meant to contain them; they mix, drag, blur, sediment, and acquire new meanings.

What new ontologies emerge from our relationship with an oversaturated digital environment?

With a critical gaze, Datos Helados questions the ways in which we construct and represent the world through data, traces, and simulacra.

The work intensifies the tensions of virtualization, dematerialization, and archiving within an accelerated present marked by hypervigilance, informational ubiquity, saturation, and the consequent erosion of meaning.

The exhibition is accompanied by an original, previously unpublished text by the Uruguayan writer. Ramiro Sanchiz: Hay una muerte que no termina de morir.
