      Sense

      Ricardo Dal Farra
      Argentina - Canada

      The meaning of life. The meaning of the things we do. The direction in which we move. Where are we going. The complications and complexities that are smoothed over time, in one way or another, by hook, sometimes by crook. Time is a fiction that surprises us. After the action, the surprises, the interventions and the infinite searches, the reflection, and one step after the previous one, among the thousands of the way.

      Tempest/Chronostasis

      Franck Vigroux - Antoine Schmitt
      France

      Right after the Big Bang, the universe was completely formless, full of matter and energy, but irregularities were born, becoming atoms, suns, and planets. Within the primitive soup on Earth, indistinct molecules began to clump together like bacteria, to become life, animals, humans. The Tempest recreates the sound and fury of these original maelstroms. Within which it searches for the origin of the shape, it looks for other shapes. This Performance associates Franck Vigroux's analog instruments with Antoine Schmitt's visual algorithms, to create a real system of universes of pure Chaos, which can be seen and heard in the movements of millions of particles. Through the roar of the air, the performers manipulate the internal forces of this chaos, to give birth to audio and visual forms that unfold in time, with more or less stability, more or less evidence.

      The Love Letters?

      Daniel Zea
      Switzerland - Colombia

      In our society today, in which communication and image are ubiquitous, facial recognition algorithms are everywhere. Social networks, Internet search engines, surveillance systems, even our own phones are following and marking our face. Our face, the most expressive part of our personality, has become a tool for marketing, statistics and police control. In addition to this, the oversaturation of faces on the networks has turned them into masks, into narcissistic fictions. This duality between the expressive-face and the dehumanized-face is the basis of « The Love Letters ? ». How transcendental can communication between two faces through a digital interface be? What words of love can result from computer algorithms? Two people sitting face to face in front of their computers. Every movement and facial gesture is detected by the system and converted into a control signal. A blink, a look, a movement, a grimace, generate images, sounds and texts. The emotions projected by the faces contrast with everything that the machines can generate. What can we understand from this multi-layered communication?
