SINTESIS
———————C03RA + PAR
Synthesis is part of the research project developed by artists Mathías Chumino (C03RA) and Nacho Adda (Par).
The work unfolds a concept developed in different ways independently, as components of the same conceptual system, but expanding the research towards new paths of artistic discovery. Seeking to transcend the limits of conventional understanding, leading the viewer on a journey of sensory and conceptual exploration. Through a combination of visual and auditory elements, Synthesis invites reflection on the relationship between humans and their environment in the digital age, highlighting the importance of an integrated and non-anthropocentric view of the world we inhabit.
An invitation to recognize the environment from the unsettling perspective of a new entity, a landscape where anthropocentric interpretation blurs and perception extends through new ways of understanding the surroundings. Par and C03RA invite us to immerse ourselves in an audiovisual performance that appropriates the gaze of a new form of intelligence. The known universe expands before our eyes, pushing us to the limit of comprehension, towards a digital 'unheimlich' that challenges us and redefines our place in the cosmos. Is alienation an inextricable component of these times, extending like a permanent shadow over the mundane? Do we feel the horror of being observed by what observes us from an unfathomable abyss? Do we want to leap into it? The imitation of the human and the "natural" becomes obsolete; instead, a future nature is summoned, one that still lies beyond our understanding, a nature woven with the threads of organic and artificial life. We find ourselves in a dialogue between the known and the inconceivable, an exchange that urges us to reflect and prepare for what is about to emerge on the horizon.
