The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and with the Center for the Technological Revolution in Creative Industries (CRTIC) will inaugurate the art exhibit “Chile’s Techno-Creative Landscape” on March 13 at the bank’s headquarters in Washington. Organized in conjunction with the IDB and IDB Invest Annual Meetings in Chile later in the month, the exhibit celebrates the country's innovative spirit and seeks to inspire development solutions by highlighting the transformative potential of creativity.
The exhibit offers a series of artworks that use emerging technologies to interact with Chile’s landscapes, evoking the richness of its natural capital and reflecting its commitment to innovation and sustainability. It features renowned Chilean multidisciplinary creators, including Rosa Angelini, Miguel Bolt, Vicente Manzano and Beltrán Lihn, Sergio Mora-Díaz, Alejandro Moreno, Pao Olea and Carla Redlich, whose immersive installations and audiovisual narratives blend art and technology, inviting visitors to explore the country’s varied landscapes.
“Innovation and emerging technologies play a vital role in shaping a resilient future for Latin America, the Caribbean and the world. This exhibition showcases how art and creativity can encourage new approaches to both challenges and opportunities,” said IDB President Ilan Goldfajn.
“At CRTIC, we are proud of our strategic partnership with the IDB to feature eight Chilean techno-creative artists in Washington. This exhibit is more than a digital installation; it’s a story of how Chilean creativity engages with the landscape, our ancestral territorial heritage, and today’s challenges. We thank the IDB for recognizing that the technological revolution in creative industries is not just an engine for economic growth; it is also a bridge to more conscientious societies. We invite everyone to discover how, from Washington, Chile is writing this new chapter in Latin American art with code, digital brushes and creativity,” said Esteban Ruiz-Tagle, Executive Director of CRTIC.
The new exhibit is the first to be presented in the IDB’s newly revamped ArtLAC Gallery, a space dedicated to showcasing art as a catalyst for economic development in the countries that the bank serves and to connecting the region to Washington.
“Chile’s Techno-Creative Landscape” is open to the public from March 14 to July 2025, free of charge. Visiting hours are Monday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
