Transmisiones was an intallation made for the Art and Technology exhibition during EXPOTECNIA'95 in Bogota, an industrial fair organised by Spain each year. As Arias was in Rio de Janeiro at the time he used a fax machine, which at that time he considered one of the greatest technological advances.
During the seven days of the fair he faxed all kinds of information on viruses -mostly Aids and Ebola- taken from Brazilian newspapers. They were displayed so visitors could see them but not necessarily understand the Portuguese. Intending to cause confusion within the readers, he illustrated the reality of a country that lacks information on these issues.
