Órbita Wireless

In various texts, Aldous Huxley philosophizes about how far the near space race would go in the future. The movies talk about a meteorite that could destroy the earth, but what happens if something like this happens to some of the objects that surround the atmosphere that were sent by us? With fiction, imagination and irony, this projects talks about Latin American satellites, internet access and sovereignty to think about today's world.

Historically, the continents that send the most satellites into space year after year are the USA and Europe, leaving Latin America behind despite its excellent scientific quality. These satellites sent into space would offer great internet services, but at a very high cost for the countries of our region. One of the situations that this pandemic has clearly exposed is the unequal access to the Internet of important sectors of the population, as well as of areas and localities of our country. Clearly, access to education at all levels, and remote work, are at the heart of this problem. The worrying issue is that, in addition to the lack of investment in connectivity infrastructures , there is also the inability to pay of many people, which represents a scenario of educational exclusion and access to knowledge and work.

This project is part of a larger project that has to do with the sovereignty of our territory, the injustices we experience and the world of today, which with the fantasy of 'progress' thinks it's always better than the world of yesterday.
