introduction
When we mention the word museum our mind will automatically connect it to architecture.
An architecture that within the social and cultural context, it has survived the complicated economic possibilities, but it has also faced the challenging cultural and structural
possibilities of our times.
With the high tech bubble and the example of great art centers as keystones of the
cities culture where they were built, brick became synonymous with culture.
But the concept of art, culture and its significance may find shelter in other environments. It represents an intangible asset that stands and grows within the collective
imagination, which might, or might not find shelter in a three-dimensional space.
Nowadays, this digital world is transferred into a society where word, expression and
all the channels of information are expanded via social networks, blogs, videos, as well
through an endless online offer.
Art itself is a living image of the society in which it is implemented; being precisely this
art the answer to what happens within each particular context.
For the times we are living, complicated and confused, new drawings are coming up on
the scenery of culture, the economy associated with the same and of course the artist`s
work, commissioners and curators within this wide framework.
Everything is being redraw and virtuality is making way with no expected ending, which
we undoubtedly have to understand, enjoy and organize.
The museum seen as an art center, cultural space, or gallery is completely connected
to the idea of a three-dimensional space offering an artistic and informative content of
interest.
But, does a hard disk itself may not be considered architecture? Isn`t the memory and
the artists work being represented on hanging walls, either projected or installed? Are
there no files in a museum? Does not the artist fingerprint remain printed on those
walls?
A museum can answer to all these questions, however in its broadest concept, etymologically right; a hard disk can also do it.
A hard disk enables the information to be organized into folders, allows this information
to be revealed and increased across peripheral devices and above all else, a hard disk
is a universe.
Harddiskmuseum, does not intend to diverge into a series of alternative proposals, moreover, it tries to join urban art, netart and other fundaments to talk about this art structure and the society, and tries to draw a confused line between the figure of the artist,
of the museum, of the culture budgets, of a knowledge-based society, of the memory,
of the art starsystem and why not, to combine new exhibition models, co-operative,
creative and generators of ideas and reflection.
Infoaddictives, today, we are prepared to bear upon our shoulders with one particular
concern, information. Images as memory assistants, video records as personal experience and the hard disk as container file and why not, in addition to all above said, of
art.
Harddiskmuseum, aims to meditate on the idea of transforming a museum into a real work of
art, an interactive system and collective work, where each participant and actor belonging to
the mentioned art structure performs around an artistic proposal, because the hard disk does
not understand about contents, it only makes available its memory to may be filled up with good
or bad ideas.

sobre Solimán López
Solimán López (HDDM founder)
BA in Art History and MA in Arts and Communication, is carrying out his artistic activity
by continuously crossing the thin line between intangible and tangible, focusing on the
idea of non digital identity, the erosion of an overloaded information onto social strata,
the instant overexposure of privacy within our social context or the memory behavior
in the 21st century. All this connected with the use of new technologies as a way of
approach, disguising and a channel of communication with the viewer and with oneself.
At present, in addition to his artistic work, Solimán López is director of ESAT LAB (R&D
Laboratory – ESAT, Escuela Superior de Arte y Tecnología) and carries out teaching
tasks on visual arts and media art.

resume
Project is represented by a hard disk without packaging and hard security system
protected.
Inside holds several folders organized by artists, events or shows.
The hard disk is connected with different devices depending the event, as screens,
projectors, videowalls, monitors or tv´s.
The hard disk is a plastic icon, functional and digital. It holds all the meanings of an
arquitectural space and makes the equal between space-folder, walls-case and store-repository.
It is a hard object, basement of our contemporary culture holding the metaphor of our
time.
