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.

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
laboratory of
Social Commons in Medialab Prado.

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.
