Art und Weise: A Manifesto for Moist Futures

Moist Futures: Cripto Sirena Chronicles is a performative encounter that blurs the lines between artist talk, poetry, drag, and collective body activations. Drawing inspiration from the collaborative sci-fi fable Cripto Sirenas, the event invites the audience to immerse themselves in a speculative world where fluidity, interconnectedness, and resistance reshape the narrative of extractivist technology and Web-3 ecology.
The evening will open with a poetry reading by Lucy Tomasino in Spanish, weaving a tale of ecofeminist resilience, through selected texts. Alongside body activation Sunny Pfalzer guides the audience through the evening, exploring the interconnectedness of body, voice, and world, syncing into a collective resonance and activating the body as technology. As the audience dives deeper into the Cripto Sirenas fable through a reading by Anna Ehrenstein, Alexa Evangelista, joins virtually in drag in her role as the crypto bailarina, embodying a multifaceted humanoid savior whose fluidity and transformation defy the rigid binaries of tech-totalitarian rule.
The evening concludes with a short reading of Josh Davilas, the 5th collaborator and author of “Blockchain Radicals - How Capitalism ruined Crypto and how to fix it” and a conversation and q&a with the artists on somatic, research based artistic collaboration.
