El panda más dramático del mundo is a book written on a mobile phone notepad. A less responsible way of writing is sought, where the silliest idea could be the most genuine and the option of drowning in a glass of water could be feasible without having to show heartfelt pain. The author breaks away from literary structures to lean on a fresh and seductive form of writing, such as using the mobile phone predictive vocabulary or inclusive language.
M Benito Píriz
El panda más dramático del mundo (The world’s most dramatic panda)
El ritmo íntimo del azar: diálogos entre máquinas imperfectas is a personal artistic research project that started in May 2020, at a time of great social uncertainty and instability. It arises as a result of the motivation to explore the possibilities of the random concept in a medium such as a sound installation. Jonathan García Lana / Tunipanea
El ritmo íntimo del azar: diálogos entre máquinas imperfectas (The intimate rhythm of randomness: dialogues among imperfect machines)
Both the Ágil y un placaje project and a large part of its process revolves around the movement and qualities of recording from the game itself as a temporary invalidator of reality. During this stage of the process, attention will focus on the construction of recording tools. Ander Perez Puelles Ágil y un placaje (Nimble and a tackle)
"Cosa" is a research project about the intervened body. It is a choreographic laboratory which aims to research how different materials and objects can affect the interpreter’s body generating multiple readings. Via composition and the use of different materials we can observe how the body is transformed. We are going to open three lines of research (form, movement and sound) and we will concentrate on the perspective and possible interpretations generated by the imaginarium of the observer. Lidia Zoilo González / Macarena Recuerda Shepherd Cosa. Intervenir un cuerpo (Thing. To intervene a body)
Set somewhere on the contact point between sculpture and performance, Shifter! (a term linguistically referring to the gear lever) is a research and creation project focused on the detour, where sculptural situations and action are articulated in performance environments. It is just right there, in that detour instant, where Shifter! looks to take its place. Blanca Ortiga
Shifter!
So Sad Today is a transdisciplinary research project revolving around contemporary digital cultures. It is focused on the friction occurring among identities developed in the physical world and those developed in the digital worlds of each person. The project addresses ‘digital dysphoria’, i.e. a concept characterised by a feeling of discomfort due to the dissociation with our digital ego. Victoria Ascaso
So Sad Today
