International Exchange training and production
Presente Continuo Org was born from the conviction that the transformation driven by the fourth technological revolution is taking us to a place where conceptual frameworks and descriptions inherited from the past are no longer sufficient to understand the present or project the future.
We ask ourselves how these transformations are changing the way we produce art and, at the same time, how art can help us understand this new world in which we live. Based on these questions, we invite the fellows to develop projects that explore possible answers.
projects 2024 inclán plant: Argentoratum / BotU / Chuelo / LA LLORONA / RCN_5
Argentoratum
CARPINELLO, RAGESSI, REY, REZZA, STUBRIN
In this project, the landscape of the Riachuelo coast has undergone a process of abstraction, starting with the sound and visual recording of its profile, and ending with the robotic production of a talking sculpture. The artistic object aims to represent the decomposing strata that accumulate over time and that can be easily seen from the water. The movement of navigation constantly shifts the point of view and challenges us to a poetic exercise of glocal synthesis.
Argentoratum has a body and a voice. Its song bears witness to the deep damage, the helplessness and, at the same time, the resilience of the interspecies bond. It also refers to the possibility of experiencing beauty within a situated precariousness and an economic system that encourages ruin.
BotU. AS FANTASTIC AS IT IS IMPERFECT
GATTAS VARGAS, GELATTI, MANDELBAUM, SARAGUETA, SENDEROWICZ
The installation is presented as a hybrid space that combines visual, sculptural and performative elements. Through a physical and conceptual journey, we invite you to immerse yourself in the universe of dreams. We will do so through BotU, a device that challenges the conventional uses of artificial intelligence.
BotU explores the tensions between the dreamlike and automated productivity, questioning the productivist conception of contemporary automation by being trained only to dream.
CHUELO
BUITRON, GRAMAJO, MICELI, PICCILLI, RINALDI
Technologies allow us to approach microscopic worlds and interact with what is invisible to human perception. But at the same time, they distance us from the physical world we inhabit - due to its white, rigid and individualistic nature - in addition to causing irreparable environmental and social damage at the cost of its overwhelming development.
A non-hegemonic and anti-extractivist perspective on art could be to think that the technology of the future should not leave a mark on the territory we inhabit.
Chuuelo is a multi-screen installation made from recovered devices. The visual body, fragmented and unfathomable, invites us to question the media infodemic in
in which society is submerged, in which the multiple perspectives on the same thing, far from inviting serious and responsible reflection on what is happening, disturb and suffocate.
LA LLORONA
FORCADA, GUERSENZVAIG, LOZANO, MONTOYA, MORO CAFIERO
La Llorona is a self-eroding zombie ecosystem of mud, mold, clay, plastic, motors and tears; a protocyborg that exudes fluids and slowly loses its shape.
structure, made with hoses and wires, creates an organic system with organs, veins and arteries through which the muddy water circulates and perforates the surface, creating pores and corroding the materials.
This piece arises from research carried out in the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin, one of the
most polluted water basins in Argentina. She is conceived as a mourner who, in the face of general devastation, perpetually exudes tears of mud.
RCN_5 A FILE OF INVERTED ARCHAEOLOGY
ALCON QUINTANILHA, BORISONIK, FRANCONE, SILVA, VALENTE
RCN_5 is a speculative fiction that unfolds as a multimedia and systemic installation. It questions the borders between art, science and politics while evoking ecological and corporate tensions around the Riachuelo, revealing traces of extractive technologies on landscapes and bodies. In this episode, the work presents an autopoietic bio-machine capsule from an uncertain future, dedicated to documenting the existence of a company that transforms sewage waste into biofuels. This hybrid organism combines bacteria, plants and algorithmic codes with various technologies, challenging the discontinuity between nature and culture. In its energetic and informational flows, the piece invites us to reflect on the memory of waste, the ethics of the non-human and art as imagination and archaeology of the future.
