Libres de espacio libreen la cuerda floja

Abstract

From the project “Free of free space / on the tightrope” performed at the end of 2019 and early 2020, I have developed a creative and open-source artistic research process based on audiovisual and photographic experimentation, with the objective of generating visual friction spaces and conceptual connections from the displacement of some possibilities offered by the earth's observation technologies, known as the newspace industry, in which many countries are investing exponentially. Converted into image, as Hito Steyerl would say, we can do very little to stop being seen. [free space], [post-future] and [collapse] are the conceptual and operational inputs that articulated in hybrid structures allow us to establish strange kinship relations that lead us to rethink some ideas from the theoretical tools provided by the Chthuluceno of Donna J. Haraway.    (The project has been performed thanks to a grant from the Basque Government in the area of plastic and visual arts from the 2019 call).
