The perception of sensations affects the way in which the human understands, knows and recognizes the environment that surrounds him; and above all how he configures his dwelling. This exhibition is a journey through different natural bodies, interdimensional portals and lost or imagined geographies that recall inhabiting those material and chimerical worlds full of mysticism, sensitivity, intuition and reflection. Images and sounds that propose new ways of coexisting in alternate spaces. Works that speak in the mother tongue of nature, that invite the human to return to himself in order to build a poetic and symbolic dwelling; where the ordinary and the extraordinary come together.

In this hypnotic documentary-fiction film, an unseen researcher uncovers the enduring influence of algae on our planet, from the deep past through to the near future. As they traverse ancient Roman baths plagued by toxic algae blooms, cutting-edge laboratories developing biofuel, and a futuristic Mars rover testing facility, they begin to uncover the volatile relations between Capitalism and algae, algae and the Earth, the Earth and humans.

When I left Naples, I knew it was for ever. I would never come back. Though I left a part of myself there: in those streets, on that beach, beneath the ruins..

Ommatidia
—————————————–
Gloria Chung
—————————————–
Each compound eye of a large dragonfly is composed of up to 30,000 ommatidia.
Each ommatidium collects visual information through photoreceptors, and together the thousands of ommatidia help form a mosaic image in the dragonfly’s brain.These images of images–taken last year from hundreds of Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration webcams–form a mosaic record of light, physical landscapes, and states of mind.

Utopia
—————————————–
Adriana Lopez Garibay
—————————————–
This project was born from research that seeks to explore the materiality generated by digital photography from textures and details that are not visible to the human eye. Similarly, to propose that digital matter can be enhanced through digital software that allows us to examine its narrative possibilities and decompose matter. On the other hand, this work seeks to investigate other forms of creation that challenge the construction of the normativity of thought, creative and aesthetic, which is imposed in most of the images exhibited in audiovisual media such as television, advertising and social networks, since it is considered necessary to search from digital photography for images that offer a counterpoint. That is why it was tried to create a sensory experience as one of the lost aura through digital matter, which has been lost due to technological advances that achieved the production of images. It is for these reasons that this project sought to investigate intangible and digital materiality, where the construction of an ideal territory was explored, in this case called “Utopia”, where it is proposed that nature, technology and the senses coexist in an egalitarian way. This through the creation of an audiovisual piece with the ultimate goal of stimulating the imagination of the viewers.
