Program Fira B! 2023

Artefacts from a future-past, mystical figures, kings, queens, goddesses, broken robots and a tomb where the bones of the dead are screws, plastic parts and integrated circuits. A performance based on the richness of human culture. From a mixture of the old and the new, a future is invented in which artificial intelligence and humans coexist and share values and beliefs. The artist uses handmade objects, video and projection to tell the story of an archaeologist of the future. Using a hand-held camera, he films these objects while projecting and amplifying them on a large screen, accompanied by an electronic analogue soundtrack, to help the viewer immerse themselves in this fantastically strange science fiction film. This hybrid project has been seen as an installation and performance at the Taipei Digital Art Center and Taichung Art Fair (Taiwan); Athens Digital Arts Festival (Greece); Espacio Eima Creación de Maria de la Salut and Teatro Principal de Santanyí (Mallorca) and Nave Bostik and the Real Círculo Artístico de Barcelona. The official premiere was in April 2022 at the Lafayette Electronic Arts Festival in Colorado (USA).
