Networked Bodies: ETP European Tele-plateaus

These activities are connected to environments in Dresden (Germany), Telc (Czech Republic) and Norrköping (Sweden).

DISORIENTATIONS – Environment 1:

DISORIENTATIONS - Abstract telematics, amorphous presence and proximity without identity is an environment for installation and performance that develops a sense of abstract, amorphous telematic presence, of intimacy and proximity without identity, working on the limits of the legible or recognisable: ilegible bodies that generate chains of data without meaning, a datamining of the absurd. A system of body de-visualisation, a machine for the disorientation of desire, produced by ETP Group- Madrid, and  Jaime del Val_REVERSO, in collaboration with the group Common Body, from the Commons Lab in Medialab-Prado. 

Concept and Coordination: Jaime del Val_REVERSO and ETP Group-Madrid: Francesca Mereu, Montfragüe Fernández, Carmela Saro.
Graphics: Kalypso-Frieder Weiss and Matthias Härtig
Sound: REVERSO
Dancers: Muriel Romero & Jorge Tieffenberg

AMORPHOGENESIS – Environment 2:

AMORPHOGENESIS – Post-anatomical architecture, real virtuality and, non-carthesian body-spaces. Produced for ETP by CIANT (Prague) in collaboration with Jaime del Val is a performance and installation environment based upon a concept of digital interactive or generative architecture in which amorphous 3D structures are transformed through the movement of bodies in physical installation spaces of four netconnected european cities. Four human and posthuman 3D characters (a female, a male, a transsexual and an alien) are being inteactively deformed and transformed into abstract architectures, each one relating to one of the four european cities. The project proposes the developmet of liquid amorphous spaces, far away from the aesthetics of simulation: not a virtual reality, but a real virtuality for a relational collective architecture across the EU. A laboratory for embodied experience, for redefining sensation, relationality and presence beyond identity and form in late-capitalist digital culture.

What is ETP - European Tele-Plateaus?

ETP is a european project in which physical interaction spaces in 4 cities (Dresden, Praga, Norrköping y Madrid) connect through he internet  in order to generate a common interactive audiovisual environment for interactive dance performances and installations. On this occasion the two concepts produced by the project partners from Prague and Madrid will be jointly presented in what is the last official public presentation of the project, that finishes in June 2010.
