In an era marked by the voluptuousness of information, Alex Hernández reflects on the laxity of our conscience. Reflejo Condicionado is a para-scientific essay that, among other topics, analyzes the use of social engineering in the contemporary world. The selection of annotations, images, devices and subtle sensorial experiments he presents revolves around the biopolitics of knowledge and the senses. Alex dislocates and strains the languages of art, draws once again on the interdisciplinary, moves into the playful and the performative. He avoids the practice of cynicism and uncertainty; and without beating around the bush, with an objective and
front, invites us to take sides in defense of our perceptions, our individuality and our conscience.
