      No.otes about experimental film and video-art. A perspective of filmmaking between 'production effects'

      Since the emergence of the seventh art has felt the need to explore even beyond what already 'established' to deepen the characteristics of an emerging new film, away from mercantilist and commercial purpose that this was coming permeating from Hollywood; It is so precisely as theoreticians, artists and experimenters in film managed to come up with other speech, accepted and validated from an audiovisual context. It can be stated that the experimental film and video art has not been made to understand, but from a viewpoint of subjective judgment within a given space and time, is unable to reach a result as such, but the process itself, the ideas they are covering what is observed; thus, an infinite range of views and interpretations is obtained.

      Beauty Technology is a novel area of research that presents an exploration between the body surface, beauty products and digital technology. The concept stemmed from a multidisciplinary perspective; computing, chemistry, body anatomy, human behavior, electronics and design. By using Beauty Technologies, we are trying to move away from traditional wearable devices worn on clothes and accessories where gestures for interaction and electronics are noticeable.

      The Dermal Abyss: Possibilities of Biosensors as a Tattooed Interface

      Advances in biotechnology suggest new use cases outside the domain of research. The Dermal Abyss (d-abyss) is our proposal to create novel biointerfaces within the skin. D-abyss renders an interactive display by patterning into the dermis biosensors whose colors change in response to variations in the interstitial fluid. d-abyss is designed to use the aesthetics, permanence, and visibility nature of tattoos to encode information.

      Poietic Strategies in Artistic Practice

      The term poiesis, the basis for the adjective poietic, is derived from Ancient Greek and denotes an act that is directed to create something out of nothing – from poieo (ποιέω): 'to make'; to create something where there was void. Giorgio Agamben calls it in 'The Man with no Content': 'Something passed from nonbeing to being, from concealment into the full light of the work. The essential character of poiesis was not its aspect as a practical and voluntary process but it being a mode of truth understood as unveiling, a-letheia (ἀ-λήθεια).' (Agamben, 1999, p.42) Poiesis stands therefore in opposition to practice, whose end in itself is action: the notion of the will to act. Poiesis on the other hand is not about being a volitional process, but one of revealing and with that a mode of veracity; a possibility for humans to find their own certainties.

      Bonnie Mitchell's electronic art installations explore the concept of perception and altered emotional states via interactivity, immersion and audio/visual stimuli. Over the past 20 years she has developed a wide range of electronic interactive installations that have altered the participant's sense of reality, time and place.

      The Eyes of the Gods

      Ancient Hawaiians named the estuary that feeds Pearl Harbor, Wai Momi, or the river of pearls. Oysters (Pinctada radiate) once flourished in the harbor. The shells were used as scrapers to make cloth and rope; they were also carved into fishhooks. The mother of pearl was valued for its iridescence, often used to make the eyes of the gods.
