This laboratory is carried out within the framework of “Ciudad Deseo, Festival de Arte y Memoria”, A collaborative project involving the Art, Science, and Technology Line (through Plataforma Bogotá and Ckweb), the Art and Memory Without Borders Line, and the CREA Program’s Electronic Arts and Converge Line, all under the District Institute of Arts – Idartes. Colombia
This multimedia performance presented at the planetarium of Bogotá integrates 360° projections and interactive electronic costumes inspired by Lynn Margulis’ theory of symbiogenesis.
It is an invitation to immerse ourselves in the monstrosity in Colombian ancestral mythology. By taking our territory and local environment as a starting point to deconstructing the normative social body, becoming strangers and inventing a utopian and fantastic world where we can co-exist and prosper.
My proposition is to think about the interspecies relationship from a trans-hack-feminist perspective. This is based on the observation of the abilities and characteristics of non-human organisms to create electronic costumes that are inspired by them.
The idea is to imagine our relationship with the world outside the petro-capitalist and cis-hetero-patriarchal order. An inclusive, decolonized, diverse and multi-species future is introduced.
