Infrafaces - The paradoxical division of physical and temporal spaces
Summary
Infrafaces was the final show of my research project, It accompanied the defence of the dissertation at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts in Gothenburg. Infrafaces, the exhibition, consists of a series of video of bodies pass¬ing through different mediums.
Description of project
Infrafaces, is about interactivity and analyzes what is happening at the exact moment of contact and information exchange when two or more elements connect. The exhibition is based on the thesis with the same name. It states that in any interaction a new place arises, but this place is paradoxical in the sense that it both separates and unifies and it can be extended ad finitum. This artistic interpretation of the process of interactivity is what is called the infrafaces. Infraface is an artistic inter¬pretation of the process of interactivity. It is what occurs beyond interfacing. In this manner this essay seeks to encourage a different understanding of our environment by means of interaction.
Infrafaces are a series of interrelated interfaces within an interaction that adapt time and/or space to transform connecting elements into new spaces. These spaces act as an interface for the next transformation to take place before a new space is opened. The infraface is an artistic interpretation of the process of interactivity and has the ability to expand the time or the space in between the elements interacting, in order to embed new stories between them.
Action is an essential part of my artistic research, and so I completed this project with video images filmed in the southeast of Mexico and they are part of the exhibition accompanying the thesis defense.
I stop and focus on the borders, horizons and on the surfaces. Though I focus on the border between water and air, it could be any boundary: the hu¬man and the technological, sense and nonsense. I am interested in the relation between elements and in the behavior of particles as they make contact with other elements, how bodies change both themselves and their environment as they cross these limits. For the exhibition I concentrated in the zone where the infrafaces moves, in the border lines, in the contact zones. I am interested in the behavior of entities as they make contact with other entities, how bodies change both themselves and their envi¬ronment as they cross these limits and in the inter-relation between elements.
