In “VESSEL” a hybrid device between the organic and the machine is presented. The performers, as well as the spectators, are translated into data, transformed and returned to the room in a new configuration. This space centers itself on a living machine – a post- consciousness that, through microphones, infrared sensors and the computer, processes the present matter.
Here, the echo and the trail of the bodies that pass by are manifested, conjuring up a liminal zone. Entering this space is like accessing the cosmos of H. P. Lovecraft’s “womb of Cthulhu”, the axis mundi of an interstitial and transitory place, such as “the Zone” by A. Tarkovski, the epicenter of a “spiritual circle”, where the physical and immaterial transference can bring us closer to a place of transcendence – of what is “beyond” the threshold.
In this architecture, the bodies are potentiated as vectors for activating and receiving matter, essential members of a network that reflects on transference, encounter and transformation of the habitat.
