Living Glossary

Website , Card

Description

Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice is an ongoing and ever-changing attempt to introduce a diffractive methodology inside publishing practices, understanding publishing as the mere act of making public. It is organized as a container of words that are never fully defined, only annotated. Words become tools, concepts, resources, and shapes with properties that enhance new possibilities. In this glossary, they don’t close the publishing scenario to territory arts or design. Instead, they are porous and permeable to other spheres of action.

The glossary is seen as mutable, and the current state results from collective workshops where participants are invited to think and converse around its words and annotations. During the workshop, diffraction performs a conscious interconnection of practices beyond reflection.

From the technical side there is source pad were all annotations take place in a markdown format which is processed by a Python script that writes it as a website using Pandoc and then Js.

Espacio entre partículas

Installation , Book

Description:

Space between particles is an installation that proposes a dialogue between organic forms, natural elements and geometric constructions seeking to reflect —using as metaphors the ideas of particle and network— on the relationship of beings in their environment.

The project was born and configured in the space as one of the many possibilities where the relationship between being/particle and context/network can make structural sense. Through resources of drawing, painting, sculpture and color, each piece of the installation proposes different physical encounters of the dialogue. Each of these tries to fend for itself, but in turn, by the very nature of the project, it becomes meaningful when viewed in relation to another. Some pieces approach concepts from rational thinking and others appear in space as contemplative scenarios loaded with questions and mystery.

What are the plastic capacities of the relationship? Can a relationship indicate, illustrate, describe, select, place, unveil, extract, dissociate, huddle, hide, dislocate the related …?

The project does not intend to answer those questions. Space between particles aims to be produced and get lost in the question. Just as the being can do it when thinking from within. A constant uncertainty.

Details:*

  • Barcelona, Spain.
  • Materials: Rocks, rope, paper, painting, drawing, sculpture, mirror, isolation foam, carton tube, branches, among others.

Convergencia Natural

Installation , Workshop , Book

Description

Natural Convergence: Vegetal Communities Workshop is a project that aims, using plants as a metaphor, to propose reflections on the relationship between human beings.

The workshop invites participants to observe plants, draw them and abstract them into vegetal communities on paper. It introduces the participant into allelopathy and permaculture: two practices where plant relationships are take in account.

Next to the workshop, an installation offers new plastic and spatial possibilities in terms of the relational concept of the project. How the whole is connected with the object, the viewer with the individual, and the participants with the plants. A whole built from the project’s transversal axis: being in relation to one another.

Details:

  • Exhibited in Bogota at Javeriana University.
  • Materials: drawings, observation, activities, reflection, acrylic on canvas, plants in macets, pencil and colors on paper.
