In this reading group, Alonso Cedillo and Abril Cisneros explore narrative as a viral, adaptive system that mutates across media, from literature to digital simulations, conspiracy theories, and AI-driven fictions.
We will focus on three aspects of post-internet culture—heteronymous identities, virality, and memetic architecture—in relation to both Cedillo’s practice and selected fragments from the work of Fernando Pessoa, William Burroughs, and Richard Dawkins. These texts have been instrumental to Cedillo, particularly in his development of interconnected fictional entities and narrative ecosystems that blur truth and fabrication, inviting audiences to inhabit stories rather than simply read them.

Alonso Cedillo is a millennial artist that explores our post internet world dissolving the limits between reality and fiction, as well as the analog and the digital. Defining post-internet as his medium, and his mediums as protocols, Cedillo’s works codes itself through painting, sculpture, film, photography, webpages, machine learning, and alternate reality games (ARG). His work has been collected publicly and privately in Mexico, the United States, Colombia, Argentina, Austria, and the United Arab Emirates. It has been exhibited at the NRML festival in Monterrey (2013) and was featured at Donaufestival (2013) and Transitio MX (2015) by Fran Ilich, as well as TOGETHER (2021) by La Galería Rebelde.
