Born in 1968, Habana, Cuba, Ernesto’s work deals with functioning within the realm of manufacturing. He produces and distributes speculative publication methods, exhibitions, collaborations. His work has been exhibited at museums like: the MoMa in NYC, Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, Laboral Centro de Arte y Creacion Industrial, Spain. One of his projects which was at the time period after the collapse of the Soviet Union, where Cuba had to manage to develop technological solutions with parts from any apparatus or engine. He produced a series of antena trays that were equivalent to the satellite, which has been banned ever since 2003. He used trays because it was a very accessible object, since it was all over public spaces where people had lunch. He visited Cuba between 1994-2007 recording technology solutions to the banning of the satellites and further information. Which led to his latest exhibition in 2015 where the participators occupied an entire gallery with drawings, media, photos, furniture, textiles and videos. In this show he exhibited “technological disobedience”. He concluded that eventually the cubans began to live under technological disobedience, where they over came their limitations building things such as the rikimbilis- motor bicycles.
