IN.OrgánicoAR
IN.Orgánico is an audiovisual performance that reflects on the advance of technical rationality over the organic. Living organisms and digital organisms are part of a single ecosystem. How do we live and interact with what surrounds us? From what place do we link with our environment? In the current supremacy of the market, whose main objective is profit, there is an exploitation that corrupts natural environments. Through the digitalization of the sound and visual landscapes of Monte Chaqueño, manipulated with programming languages in real time, we present the tension of the technological-organic contrast, seeking to re-assume technology and modern ways of living as part of an expression natural human in balance with the organic that precedes us and sustains us as a species. We want to reflect, accompany and coexist with our nature and our environment through art.
