The Official A/V Machinist Collective Blog

The A/V Machinist Collective, registered as a non-profit corporation, exists to be used as a platform for artists of various fields to develop and present their work with the freedom to express their maximum level of creativity, without conforming to the current artistic standards in Puerto Rico. The emphasis on using technologies (both analog and digital) and "new media" aims to take artists out of their "comfort zone", inspiring and motivating them for the creation of truly innovative artistic work, without falling into the "technology exhibition" trap.

Each artist will have a space to present their work in both exhibitions/presentations (within and outside of Puerto Rico) and online at our website (which is currently under construction). This includes musicians, visual and plastic artists, writers, photographers, graphic artists, programmers, etc.

We promote collaboration between artists with different strengths and backgrounds for the creation of new projects, as well as local and international exposure of these projects and the people involved in them.
