Ongoing Projects

The Sensational Machine: Rituals, Memory, and Techne-Culture in Argentina
Dr. Pineda’s ongoing project analyzes the meanings people place on technology through their senses and collective memory. It draws on tangible and intangible sources, such as manuscripts, ephemera, sound, visual, collective memory, oral histories and rumor to develop several works, including a monograph, a series of short films, and collages to examine the illusions and memories of farm machines.
