Installation at VIDEOS E FILMES QUE ALÉM

(Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)

Video. 17:06 min.

With recent technologies, the conception of the human body as something that is constituted outside of a technological apparatus declines in credibility. With this, one of the main projects of metaphysics, the structuring of a field of experience and knowledge free of technical support, fails in its technophobic humanism.

Through an installation, where the relationship that exists between the initial memory of being is investigated and compared, through the technical supports that are part of our current social structure. The objective is both to generate an experience of how the notion of experience can be recovered a posteriori for the understanding of a series of characteristic phenomena of the so-called information society, as well as to perceive the tensions and oscillations implicit in the attempt to establish a pretentiously post-human or post-organic mnemonic.
