Accelerationism and contemporary art

Abstract

In the present article, the concept of Accelerationism is presented, although an in-depth analysis of the term will not be made. The main contribution of this text intends to be, on the contrary, the application of the accelerationist movement to the case of contemporary art. Although this attempt at union already provides an academic value in itself, the concrete hypothesis on which we work and which will be developed here is that, due to the institutional particularities of contemporary art, Accelerationism is not a valid mechanism for its overcoming and change of paradigm, if a change of this nature was necessary.
