2020-2021 STAYING IN TOUCH ART SHOWS AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH COLLECTIVE 

The collective was initiated as part of Biofriction research project

Co-produced by Hangar.org, SOLU Bioart Society, Kersnikova Institute, Cultivamos Cultura

Co-founded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union

 

Formed by Dalila Honorato (PT/GR), Robertina Šebjanič (SI), Louise Mackenzie (UK), Karolina Żyniewicz (DE/PL) and Isabel Burr Raty (BE/CL)

​

While the financial support to cultural institutions is immediately necessary for the recent COVID-19 crisis, nothing guarantees that the deactivation of this coronavirus is the end of similar viral emergencies. Maybe this is the beginning of the post-anthropocene era when human lives will be passed between periods of isolation and integration in the natural and social environments. How can art spaces be prepared to respond to this possible pendulum of cyclical outbreaks? 

The objective of this workgroup is the development of different scenarios for ensuring access to art as an essential need for the cultural identity of a society and its individuals. The workgroup aims to propose a variety of provisions that can guarantee the required level of biosafety and security engineering further than physical distancing and adequate methods of decontamination in art spaces. The research is based on historical data of previous pandemics and information on technology and protocols of biocontainment used in high-security labs, space and underwater research as well as in science fiction storytelling.

​

The outcomes of this project was the composition of an ergodic script and the production of a mock-documentary edited by Pavel Tavares.

Iterations is an artistic relay which traverses different countries. Artists work together in residencies on open source work that is first shown, and then passed on to be processed by another group of artists. Free software, open content licenses, distributed collaboration and shared authorship are starting points for the participants.

This episode of Constant_V offered an introduction to the project, its principles and its methods. In the window of Constant visitors and passers-by could observed and interact with a selection of materials from the Iterations 1: Trasformatorio Residency.

As part of the research of this project a selected group of guests were invited to explore the perception of their on bodies. Their descriptions were turned into wearable textiles bodes, each being the material trace of a guest momentary habitat.
