En 1995 Gianni Toti this en sus principales trabajos de Lima videocreación. Video art before 1995 still had low visibility in the local scene especially with the lack of a "community" that could make more valid artistic activity in this new medium.
There were other reasons related to lack of local knowledge in relation to video art and therefore the reluctance of museums and cultural spaces in Peru by embedding the video in the same way as they did in other Latin American countries. Toti failed to show a portion of this international scene. However, the work of Toti was characterized as absolutely critical and complex. So we could say that the presentation of Toti in Lima not only was a flagship, but radical for the local scene. The next step was taken due to the bond generated between ATA Toti 3 and international organizations, notably the CICV (International Centre for Video Creation, Montbelliard-Belfort). These links will carry out, in 1998 the first International Festival of Video / Arte / Electronica (strange gesture that was appointed as second festival, appealing to one conducted in 1977 by Alfonso Castrillón in the Gallery of Banco Continental in Lima). The Festival generated a local scene and at the same time a lively exchange with international artists and curators.
support is undeniable in this Gianni Toti first stage and its contribution as a mediator of the link between Peru and Latin America (or as he used to call, LatinAmerIndia) and European countries where this field was supported by institutions specifically aimed at new media production boomed important nineties.
