Biograms and Space: the visibility of the monad.
Following the process of the design research course at the Berlin Art Institute, professor and artist Dagmara Genda teased me about the relationship between biograms and space. My premise that “drawing is the trail of dance in space” seemed to her still very incipient and asked for experiments along these lines. Below are 4 raw videos taken from my experimental sessions:
The Future of Biogramaturgies.
The idea of continuity for this project is to edit it and a single video, using sounds taken from the album of functional songs Recursive Iterations by artist Ryan Teague who works with the idea of sound architecture and generative music.
The final goal of this study of Biogramaturgies (still hidden on the horizon of future years) is to arrive in a luminous device (light hands / light fingers) that draw sculptures in space (drawing sculptures) at the same time that they react and recreate sounds.
Light and sound are two of the pillar phenomena of human perception and in the world of biograms they are one thing - synaesthetic objects.
Biograms and other Directions.
Other correlation created by this global workshop is the interest aroused in me by the project of Juan Eduardo Páes Cañas, one of the students of the course, but a seasoned semiotician whose thesis is Raíces Corporales del Dibujo. In addition to the materiality and visual virtuality of the biograms, I also understand these as signifiers of new meanings that have not yet been fully processed by humans, crediting them with a cognitive or even ontological existence.
Biograms and Biology: a task for the “long future”.
Another provocation made by Dagmara was about the relationship between biograms and biology. For this essay, even deeper questions need to be addressed and directed so that they do not become just a rhetorical exercise on the origins of biograms and their relationship with biological life itself.
