Under the Topic TECHNO-ECOLOGIES- ¿Can we create a liveable future?- How to save the planet through the moving body, techniques for collectively reinventing the body in motion, as reply to the planetary crisis of climate change and other related problems will be explored, as experiments towards new ways of living, by recovering lost sensorimotor capacities: choral improvisation techniques towards a sustainable, inclusive, embodied Internet or Bodynet.

  1. 3-7 October: A Networked exploration of disaligned telematics through specially designed video conferencing tools. between Toulouse and Dresden, with a local call for participants in the workshop-residency in Toulouse, ending with a public online and on site performance.
  2. 25-30 October: Starting with a telematic connection via abstract avatars of an amorphous virtual reality in connection to Dresden, with a public presentation, and continuing with a physical on-site installation of dynamic architectures, projections and sounds, for creating choral improvisations, again with a local call for participants in the workshop-residency in Toulouse, ending with a public online and on site performance.

At the same time, in Dresden, in telematic connection with Toulouse:

October 26th – Dresden: Büro für Gute Maßnahmen

Bodynet: Abstract Avatars

Telematic interaction event in connection with Metabody Toulouse / K. DanSe

with Jaime del Val, Maria Pätzold, Alba T. Álvarez (as audience mediators and players)

Interactive telematic space for the audience to play with.

The movements of a local and a remote interactor get transposed onto abstract avatars moving on the screen: amorphous creatures-architectures, 3D meshes and sounds for an online metagame that hacks control aesthetics and invites the interacting audience to open up to indeterminacy and variation by focusing on tiny torsions of the body: a means to regain proprioception (the sense of movement of the body) in a culture of atrophy and hypercontrol, as a way towards restoring the health of the Planet in the Anthropocene and the age of algorithms, towards an embodied internet or Bodynet, and beyond, as a revival of choral practices: Khorós.


Based on the Bodynet-Abstract Avatars project https://metabody.eu/bodynet-planetary-embrace/

developed by Jaime del Val/Reverso/Metabody in collaboration with: Jean-Marc Matos/K. Danse

and collaborators in the frame of Metabody Forum and Metabody Toulouse 2021.
