ACTE DE SEANCE

How can we better understand the latest technologies and the contexts in which they were developed? And how can we translate underlying scientific principles into performative interfaces with/for an audience? This research seeks to make the “electromagical” visible, tangible, and embodied. We explore diverse media such as scenography, visual art, public situations, radio, and software, and question which materials, instruments, devices, movements, codes, etc. we need in order to collectively imagine these complex principles and thus rewrite them.

ooooo (pronoun: we) is a trans-universal constellation that initiates, curates, facilitates, and appropriates projects that stimulate reflection and practice around relevant societal themes. Their “open” network forms the basis for [intra-actions] and inspiring participatory processes that foster mutual learning and collective emancipation.
