¿Y si pudiéramos comer un pixel? (What If We Could Eat a Pixel?)
Summary
¿Y si pudiéramos comer un pixel? (What If We Could Eat a Pixel?) imagines a technological fantasy in which the pixels on a screen could be transformed into food. Through a poetic writing style that mixes body, image, nutrition and digital language, the text constructs an apparently naïve utopia: pinching the screen, extracting a fragment of image and turning light into nutrient.
In its second part, the text shifts towards a conversation with an AI around the relationship between digital access and food insecurity. From this absurd yet revealing comparison, the text contrasts the abundance of mobile devices with the persistence of hunger, proposing an ironic critique of technological promises of universal solutions.
