Poetics of the body and programmed obsolescence

Poetics of the body and programmed obsolescence

Andrés Uriel Pérez Vallejo, Sebastían Rivera Ruiz, Paula Alejandra Garcia, Juan Manuel López Pasos (Semillero de investigación en artes mediales SIAM)

This work is presented as a performative-visual installation that invites the viewer to contemplate the fragility of the technological past and the transformation of the body into a posthuman state.

Multiple screens and obsolete electronic mechanisms are intervened by the actions of three bodies that seek to auscultate in their decomposing circuits new metaphors and visual expressions.

In this work, obsolete technology becomes a tangible reminder of the body's relationship to progress and constant change in the contemporary world.
