Technopoiesis. Possibilities of interspecies creation
Santiago Franco Lopera
Colombia
This work explores the possibilities of inter-species creation to reflect on the role of human beings in the systemic behavior of planet Earth. It uses electronic elements, measurements of galvanic impulses and records of changes over time in living beings that share an environment.
The question “What is living?” leads to an inquiry about the cognitive capacity of living beings, the construction of their reality and the subjectivity inherent to each existing being.
It exposes the fluctuation of the concept of reality as dependent on the affections that an individual experiences while preserving its life, using image and sound to materialize the sensitive experience of the spectator.
In the new geological era of the Anthropocene, marked by a rapid extinction of species, this project seeks to raise awareness about the planetary crisis. Through collaborative workshops, such as the one carried out at the San Miguel School (Hortaleza - Madrid), reflection and action are encouraged, involving children in the exploration of creative ways to communicate and address the extinction of species.

Framed in the post-conflict period in Colombia, this immersive installation gives voice to the victims to highlight the territorial and symbolic regeneration of collective memory.
To pollinate is to fertilize, it is the way plants make love and reproduce. A plant has neither hands nor feet and it is very difficult for it to find a mate and even more difficult for it to have sex, so it uses pollinators to get its male cells to the ovules of another plant and fertilize it, and have sex at a distance.
This exhibition is part of a series that uses 3D scans through photogrammetry to interpret landscapes, converting light measurements into representations of trees, geography and flora.
On February 22nd, 2019, the implosion of the Monaco building, owned by Pablo Escobar, took place, generating a debate on historical memory and the denial of the conflict.
This expanded cinema installation presents two animated short films, “Habitography(two)” and “Habitography(three)”, projected in a loop over two intaglios using the video-mapping technique.
