Project in residence

During the residency the artists will produce one-minute videos that will be available on the web and mobile devices. The content of the videos is performative.

From a suitcase with some objects and fabrics, the artist invites the participants (artists, the community, street people) to create characters and develop a sequence of micro-performative commands, which will be recorded, edited (not in all cases ) and provided with a free license.

The performance has its own characteristics. It is, above all, a creative language that tries to break the pattern of action to investigate new methods of communication, with extra-everyday elements, with altered states of expression, through different signs, signals or even changing the ones we usually use.

Many thinkers, like Renato Cohen, tend to think of performance as a language that works directly with spiritual powers, normally used by religious institutions. But in this case, scenic language changes its transcendent state, updating its immanent aspect, returning to nature the power of all creation and to the person the intuitive capacity to expand their channels of reception and perception, improving their life. In this sense, the performer is an actualizer of all these powers. His actions are closer to shamanic actions, committed to nature, its moods, its darkness, providing its structure, its power of creation. This project tends to bring together the languages ​​of nature and technology and therefore can be considered a work of technoshamanism.

Following this reasoning, this project aspires to be not only the construction of portable media through the arts of language, but also an essay, a healing ritual, a techno-shamanic process that develops in a second time with the distribution of these healing pills or, these portable rituals, which allow people from different places in the world to access this language, and have a moment of ritualization of everyday life.
