Irational.org
Personaggio: Irational.org
Biografia: Irational.org è un sito nato per divulgare l’arte e informazioni di tipo alternativo.
Nella sua fervida attività ha ospitato numerosi progetti, tra cui quello di Minerva Cuevas (Messico, 1975), artista che realizza interventi pubblici e campagne mediali che hanno come oggetto i processi sociali ed economici, la comunicazione e le tecnologie.
Il sito documenta il progetto Mejor Vida Corp. ed è diviso in aree: prodotti, servizi, campagne, società. La MVC è una società politicamente attiva che utilizza informazione e tecnologia per interventi di campagne sociali che rispondono sia a contesti locali messicani sia internazionali. Alcune azioni o prodotti della MVC possono sembrare illegali come, ad es., le etichette dei codici a barre che servono per ridurre i prezzi di determinati prodotti al supermercato.

Poetica: Irational è un sistema internazionale dedito alla divulgazione e allo sviluppo di "informazione irrazionale", servizi e prodotti per profughi e nomadi. Irational supporta artisti indipendenti e organizzazioni che lavorano al mantenimento di una missione critica verso il sistema dell'informazione.
Il lavoro degli "Irationalists" spazia dal regno dell'arte a quello delle corporations fino alle bio-tecnologie, forzando i confini che tradizionalmente separano queste discipline.
