The Namiki project (in Nahuatl, "to meet on the path") invites us to perceive the resonances of minimal events in our environment and discover, through their sensing and audiovisual crystallization, the union between living entities. We have developed a research model to sense the expanding vector force of different entities, particularly observing the energetic and vibrant aspect of the movement of bodies in space and their friction with it.
The project evolved from the confinement imposed by the Covid 19 pandemic. Telecommunicated, we developed the sensing devices, philosophized about our relationship with life, and chose minimal gestures from our universes cut by confinement.
In a first stage, we planned a Resonance Observatory, a database with the graphs of the sensed data, the first instance of abstraction and dialogue between the different events in the environment. We also documented the passage from the phenomenal plane to the virtual in video, which you can see in Namiki: Crystallizations.
With the generated data, we create virtual spaces. On the one hand, Namiki: Art Game, a game that invites you to travel through a universe of natural microtextures. During the journey, you will meet stones that will open a dialogue for you to tell them about your life experience in the world. If you answer, your answers will be gathered in a text sheltered within a circle of stones in the last stage. On the other hand, Namiki Universe, opens a virtual journey between orbiting lithic crystallizations to help us think about the energetic, vibrant, and inseparable aspect that form the living entities in unity.
The Ninfa y Achira performance records the dialogue between a dancer and a plant. Both beings are sensed in real time, their data is transmitted via Wi-Fi and processed to generate the audiovisual content that is projected onto themselves. In this way, the dialogue that equalizes and unites them is fed back.
MURU 7.8 develops a research model to sense the expanding vector force of living entities. This Resonance Observatory will form a database that will feed several projects. In the following launches, you will be able to find each of the logs.
