Jaime del Val - METATOPIA

Part of the reSense [movement, performance, technology, art] Festival

METATOPIA is an ultraportable interactive & performative environment for outdoors & indoors spaces that merges emergent physical & digital architectures, with 3D and multisensory immersion, focusing on indeterminacy, unpredictability and open-ended relation to bodies and surrounding environment. METATOPIA is the concept of indeterminate space of plurality, as creative response to control and prediction architectures in Big Data society. FLEXINAMICS is the building technique underlying the physical, dynamic, ultraportable, foldable architecture modules, based on flexibility of all components, integrity or consistency of dynamic and flexible relations, and the constant physical dynamism and mutation of the modules, defying the perception of form.

Amorphogenesis is one of the subenvironments of Metatopia, it consists of amorphous digital architectures and spatialised sounds that transform through sensors on the body, projected on the dynamically transforming Metatopia-Flexinamics structures. http://metabody.eu/es/amorphogenesis/

Microsexes is on the of subenvironments of Metatopia, it consists of surveillance cameras placed on the skin and electronically processed voice, that generate amorphous body landscapes in motion, favouring intimate one-to one encounters with the audience inside the Metatopia-Flexinamic structures. http://metabody.eu/es/microsexos/ http://www.microsex.org

Jaime del Val is a meta-media artist, philosopher, performer, director of Reverso Institute and coordinator of the METABODY Project. He develops transdisciplinary projects in the convergence of arts, technologies, critical theory and activism, that have been presented all over Europe, North and South America. His projects propose redefinitions of embodiment, perception and affects that challenge the ontological foundations of contemporary control society.
