ISTERIKA ISTORIKA + OLOBIONTE | Spring Rolls

HIGH VOICE READINGS with Isterika Istorika

The texts are fragments of novels, short stories and essays that over time have formed the imaginary worlds, characters, architectures and creatures of the reading group Isterika’s encounters. They tell of bodies, of encounters between creatures, of bodily exchanges and contaminations that take place in other, sci-fi and impossible realities. Knowledge comes through experience. And experience, in turn, is formed through reading stories in an intimate and direct encounter.

OLOBIONTE – Performance installation curated by Lorenzo Peluffo and Enrico Turletti

Olobionte is an installation that involves humans, plants and computers in the process of music creation. The collaboration between these three beings is made possible by a system that monitors the behaviour of humans and plants by means of sensors for body diagnostics and sensors for environmental monitoring. The data produced by these devices are analysed and processed by algorithms and neural networks to generate music in real time, establishing the timbres and structure of the composition based on the different behaviours observed. Olobionte presents a reflection on the inclusion of non-human beings within human society, a topic that raises questions about how we view and represent them within our institutions and organisations. By involving humans and non-humans within an artistic process such as music through the mediation of technology, Olobionte proposes an experience in which we can enjoy a way of living based on alliance and the altruistic rediscovery of relationships.
