TRANSFUSION-FACTT is an international forum that brings together artists, producers, doers, humanists and scientists to generate an exchange of knowledges that link science, art and free technology.
From a transdisciplinary perspective, we seek to form transnational communities that work to produce ideas, projects, practices, texts ... that allow us to understand the contemporary world from a plural perspective and also influence their reinventions.
This project seeks to fuse multiplicities in order to open new areas of action and new areas of critical and creative thought. Its goal is to reappropriate dynamics, methodologies and problems from which we could detonate another look and with it, another possibility and incidence to inhabit the world we live in.
For this edition mediations with the body and its affectations will play a central role.
What is a body? What can a body do? How is a body bioframed from the interventions performed in it.
Where is a body? How to think the concecuences produced between the contact of bodies and environments? Is there an obsolescence of the body resulting from (bio) technological mediations?
How can we explain the death of a body and its diseases? In terms of biopolitics, what role does the State, Private Initiative and Society play in the administration of the affections of the body, like its health, diseases, interventions and prosthetics? How is therapeutics managed, (like self-care techniques) in the world of technoscience that goes from the generic industrialized to the genetic individuation?
Because we are looking to give an answer to these questions, we have organized a collective exhibition, workshops, seminars, conferences, a colloquium and live performances.
