Equilibrium

Equilibrium is not a finished work but a laboratory experiment proposed in the Colina 2004 residence, with the choreographer Rui Horta. The approach is that of an instrument/dance performance, where the dancer generates sound and image from the manipulation of a scenographic object.

As the equilibrium is determinant in a body performance, particularly in dance, the initial objective was to propose a study on how a dancer would behave when subjected to the constant balance between the different phases of equilibrium/disequilibrium.
A platform was constructed so that it would behave as a bidimensional swing, using a set of sheaves. On the inferior face of the platform an inclinometer was installed in order to measure the changing angles, thus controlling the digital image and sound generation. The dancer Lígia Teixeira was suspended by a cable which allowed her to find a precarious stability in the center of the platform.

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE

This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.

We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.

This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
