Workshop conversation, lecture performance and installation withD’Andrade | Abigail de Campos
Sunbeams and the Ultra-Science is a site-specific installation that covers a diverse set of themes around science fiction, auto-fiction, and speculative visions of the future. As a way of obtaining more concise answers about the relationship between dreams, technology and nature, the artist and writer D’Andrade presents a new installation work that dialogues with the performativities of knowledge and possible political landscapes for an ultra-capitalist world. The installation is the subject of an environment for an immersive experience in which sharing of knowledge and stories is routed through sound and food. It hosts a musical dinner and poetry reading as performative methods of inoculating dreams within these embodied experiences.
Focusing on migration and its tentacularly expanding economic forms, the site-specific work starts from the premise that a world in constant information traffic, the artificialization of natural resources and the virtualization of human exchanges create a new form of dreamlike perception of reality. Dreaming has become both an economic and a political tool in a world where neurocognitive technologies amplify the human-machine tension.
Taking on the aspect of dreaming, D’Andrade and the philosopher and writer Abigail de Campos Leal invite participants to contribute to Onirofagia as a concept that informs their lecture-performance within the installation. Onirofagia evokes knowledge production through food talks, soundscape, relational art, activism and self-learning practices based on the orientation of natural phenomena. The following questions are raised for the occasion: How do we actually perceive atmosphere, wavelength, sound, light and darkness? Is it possible to create a form of learning that dialogues directly with the non-human world?
