A CYBORG SEED

INTERACTIVE VIDEO DESIGN AND ANIMATION
Exhibited at MADArts, Dania Beach, FL

In my center, a cyborg seed (2024) is Roxana Barba’s live interactive performance, exploring questions related to the future, divination, and transformation. Inspired by the Peruvian Pallar Moche — an ancestral black and white “oracle bean” — and the human body in the post-human age, this work deals with the organic, the algorithmic, and the divine.
Immersed in five channels of video created with computer graphics, motion-capture performance, and AI-generated imagery and sound, two performers explore the cyborg seed-body, questioning how we define technology in relation to mortality and transcendence.
‍In my center, a cyborg seed is one of six 2022 Knight New Works and a recipient of a 2024 NALAC Fund for the Arts grant. Technical support by MadLabs. Space rehearsal support by Miami Light Project, Koubek Center and Inkub8.
