BODY, SPACE, PLACE
A MYSTICAL APPROACH

BODY, SPACE, PLACE

​

I am going to make this presentation through a deployment operation.
This is Teknetoolbox, a toolbox. A container that collects a series of practices, recipes, materials, that I have been developing throughout my life to establish connections with what surrounds us. It starts from the origin of the word tekne, which in its original meaning denotes the ability to understand something, to look at it from all possible angles and perspectives in order to be able to understand it until you become one with the object of study and with the environment that surrounds us. And what surrounds us are all kinds of materialities, both that which has a greater density, the visible we could say, and the invisible, which has another kind of agency over physical matter and another kind of language. From this intention I have been developing what I call the technological body, which is to understand the body as a sensor-receiver of different types of information. And through these tools it is able to transform it into something else.  Receiving-generating-transforming body.​
