Curated by Roc Laseca (Spain), art historian and musicologist, Solo Projects is a proposal that revolves around the notion of the "tactile eye". In keeping with the digital nature of this fourteenth edition of Pinta Miami and as an artistic response to the new limits of audience perceptions, the projects on display address the problem of art consumption in relation to "digital subjects".

In the same way, the exhibition space of the section, understood as a non-space in the absence of a physical space, is put into dialogue with the same projects. "The registered object, more than ever," Laseca said in the section's presentation, "becomes an extension of the spectator's own eye, becoming no different from it.” This search proposes not only to take the artists' work to new frontiers, but also to move the public beyond the traditional limits of the sensory experience. A curatorial experiment that, without a doubt, challenges us all in this post-human era, reinforced by the security protocols required by the health crisis of the COVID-19.

Ultimately, and through formal experimentation with respect to the materiality of the works, Solo Projects emerges as an initiative that contemplates the three essential parts of artistic contemplation: the artists, the curator and the observer.
