Ludión is the web space in which our research group explores the field of technological poetics, understood as particular formulations in which different artistic languages explicitly assume their insertion in the contemporary technical world. This implies attending with singular interest to the relations between art and technology that, at least since the end of the 19th century, have constituted a zone of tension, insofar as life is shaped as an omnipresent technical space. And although art, in the process of its modern autonomization, had hoped to acquire a certain halo of immunity, it could not avoid being dragged along by the general technification of the world, which over the last century acquired a planetary scale and became, literally, an atmosphere.
