The EX(it) Libris collection adds a sixth title. Manifiestos sobre el arte y la red. 1990-1999 is a book in which the author Paz Sastre works as editor to carry out an exercise in the recovery, analysis and cataloging of manifestos published at the end of the 20th century. The book seeks to document the social history of the Internet through the voices that actively participated in its definition.
During the 1990s, manifestos devoted to exploring the relationships between art and the growing expansion of the web abounded. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of the World Wide Web, the era of the pioneers of the 1980s was fading and the limits of the electronic frontier and its future were beginning to be discussed. Artists, activists, hackers, writers, musicians, researchers, curators or theorists expressed in manifestos their political concerns and aesthetic bets of the moment that are still current today. This publication brings them together for the first time in an unpublished selection populated by web links that exceed the margins of printed paper and transform the book into a time machine, a non-stop journey through the cyberspace of the 20th century. The book includes a free downloadable digital version with all the links.

For years she has moved her residence to Mexico City where she works as Associate Professor of the Department of Arts and Humanities at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana.
