Metacuerpos: movimiento, emergencia y relación.

El Foro internacional Metabody 2013 propone una investigación filosófica y transdisciplinar en el propio concepto de Metacuerpo como sustrato para redefinir el cuerpo y la realidad en términos de movimiento, emergencia y relacionalidad: un metacuerpo como proceso emergente de relaciones de movimiento. Este concepto se plantea como herramienta crucial para entender el funcionamiento del poder en el capitalismo actual que opera coreografiando movimientos de los cuerpos en todas las escalas, sociales, afectivas, perceptuales y cognitivas.

FORO INTERNACIONAL METABODY DRESDEN 2013

Metahuman/Metaformance Studies 2013

Metabody Conference 2 / MetamediaLab 2

14-18 Noviembre en Dresden, Hellerau at Cynetart festival.
hosted by TMA-Hellearau, in the Great Hall of the Hellerau Festpielhaus.

The second event of the Metabody project takes place in Dresden, hosted by co-organiser TMA-Hellerau in the framework of the CYNETART Festival, an ideal setting for a project whose main concern is movement. After the kick-off event of this five years European project, which happened in July 2013 in Madrid, where we outlined the theoretical framework and artistic-scientific lines of research of the project, this second meeting of the partners will aim at focusing the very broad scenario of the project with a number of research experiments that will be the ground for future collaborations, cross-fertilizations and prototype developments.

The unique setting of the historic Hellerau Festspielhaus allows for an equally unique interaction between practice and theory, or rather between different practices and performances of research-creation, where the Great Hall will host for five days, in the same space, the public installation-performances that will be also experimentation tools for the internal workshop of the project. Blurring the limits between public exhibition, performance and internal work-in-progress, the public installations by project partners, other artists, and particularly the work of Isabelle Choinière, Audrey-Anne Bouchard and Ricardo dal Farra, will be a stage for the metaformance of radical embodiment, inside, outside and accross the Metabody framework.

Including the lectures of the Metabody Conference, part of the Metaformance Studies Programme of the project, as well as public performances, workshops by project partners Palindrome, STEIM and Dap-Lab, and the internal yet open meeting of the partners for the production of the project, the MetamediaLab; this event promises a new move in explorations of embodiment, for a metahumanist ontology and politics of becoming, for a social ecology to come.
