The heart of the project is a historical archive on the working conditions of women workers in the maquiladoras of northern Mexico, particularly in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez. The archive is an index of work documents from the artist’s parents (Norma Iglesias and Jorge Carrillo) based on research that was conducted in the early 1980s from an anthropological and sociological perspective and constitutes pioneer work in its field. Through different mediums and readings, Safety Blue links and reinterprets the voices and histories of women maquiladora workers as well as the experiences of the artist’s mother. From this range of subjectivities, Carrillo urges us to rethink and contest how the bodies of Latin-American women workers continue to be shaped by labor, productivity, and capital; how these bodies have become political territories in dispute, crossed by colonization and marked by the territories they inhabit. Despite these conditions, the project is fueled by the recognition and recuperation of actions of resistance that are enacted to and within the body. <img width="3264" height="4702" width_o="3264" height_o="4702" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/576c45bbe4841abf416109158770ed5fdc3cabff8914fedf5ee4133b72d3663c/safetyblue7.jpg" data-mid="193665217" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/576c45bbe4841abf416109158770ed5fdc3cabff8914fedf5ee4133b72d3663c/safetyblue7.jpg" /> <img width="561" height="821" width_o="561" height_o="821" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c4c3b5c9deacc2c73970735b4a9a8eaedc68ba5866c3cfea7280b7308036c62/safetyblue3.png" data-mid="190685440" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/561/i/7c4c3b5c9deacc2c73970735b4a9a8eaedc68ba5866c3cfea7280b7308036c62/safetyblue3.png" /> Exhibited at Human Resources, Los Angeles, USA, 2021 <img width="3264" height="4775" width_o="3264" height_o="4775" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2266d43614b67dd5c9a017d436e29ffb2d278d48a73830e4f89fa25eaafe153d/safetyblue8.jpg" data-mid="193665221" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2266d43614b67dd5c9a017d436e29ffb2d278d48a73830e4f89fa25eaafe153d/safetyblue8.jpg" /> <img width="3063" height="4151" width_o="3063" height_o="4151" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ecaf9f217b78bb77e6614b429b0fd5ae65b9028afb922b015aa24f9a0ed91afc/safetyblue9.jpg" data-mid="193665253" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ecaf9f217b78bb77e6614b429b0fd5ae65b9028afb922b015aa24f9a0ed91afc/safetyblue9.jpg" /> <img width="4515" height="3057" width_o="4515" height_o="3057" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6afc599b43c919ed8ea8e5a45af7f9b861f598c3b41133bc1230cd342a59bbec/safetyblue6.jpg" data-mid="193665220" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6afc599b43c919ed8ea8e5a45af7f9b861f598c3b41133bc1230cd342a59bbec/safetyblue6.jpg" /> <img width="4868" height="3264" width_o="4868" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cdf39b7752f9bfa9093adb5a1dffbda7b0a0a1b44f36f819ed40b208d69570be/safetyblue5.jpg" data-mid="193665214" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cdf39b7752f9bfa9093adb5a1dffbda7b0a0a1b44f36f819ed40b208d69570be/safetyblue5.jpg" /> https://acarrillo.info/Safety-Blue-Performance Fri, 13 Oct 2023 23:34:34 +0000 ac_iglesias https://acarrillo.info/Safety-Blue-Performance 01_SafetyBlue / Performance <img width="6240" height="4160" width_o="6240" height_o="4160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7fd755fd3edb3b896c24b8086e13934d4f9610915f5778d89174d1b269db95d7/SB002.JPG" data-mid="202519268" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7fd755fd3edb3b896c24b8086e13934d4f9610915f5778d89174d1b269db95d7/SB002.JPG" /><img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6f6619fb6574416586dabc8c0a87b623c53092ac0d8bf64d2d3cf6e0e34ee00/_13A9243.jpg" data-mid="202519081" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6f6619fb6574416586dabc8c0a87b623c53092ac0d8bf64d2d3cf6e0e34ee00/_13A9243.jpg" /><img width="6240" height="4160" width_o="6240" height_o="4160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8401fa0b408c8dcad2fde40fe3988d8c50ebc0fbbcca3db9a4e65f3f92abdf6/SB009.JPG" data-mid="202518915" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8401fa0b408c8dcad2fde40fe3988d8c50ebc0fbbcca3db9a4e65f3f92abdf6/SB009.JPG" />Safety Blue is a performative work that weaves together past and present histories regarding women, labor, and oppression in the US-Mexico border. At the heart of the project is my mother’s anthropological research archive from the early 1980’s on the working conditions of women workers in maquiladoras1, particularly in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez. The archive documents the adoption of maquiladoras as a new global industrial model, one in which most of its labor force were young migrant women, a shift that led to an even greater asymmetry between Mexico and the US. This archive gives voice to young women workers who, until then, had historically been invisible. Despite its geographical focus, it mirrors how —across the global south — women’s bodies have become political territories in dispute crossed by colonization. Safety Blue is an amalgamation of women’s voices and histories spanning over 40 years. Through a transdisciplinary approach that combines video, choreography, and lecture performance, this project weaves both intimate and global narratives that bring the body forward. It urges us to rethink and contest how the bodies of women workers continue to be shaped by labor, productivity, and capital.The narrative is set against the history of modern progress, viewed through the lens of industrial production models, revealing the slow and often invisible violences these women sustain. Despite the harsh conditions, the project is motivated by the recognition and recuperation of collective forms of resistance that are enacted from the body, and by the possibility to reorient history and construct new senses of truth. 1 Manufacturing plant that imports and assembles duty-free component for export, it entails labor intensive activities.&nbsp; <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8abd5ce9e2c8c7aee3e8614afcfec0c01689c03303412f15c6eae52219529dda/_13A9271.jpg" data-mid="202519118" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8abd5ce9e2c8c7aee3e8614afcfec0c01689c03303412f15c6eae52219529dda/_13A9271.jpg" /><img width="6124" height="4083" width_o="6124" height_o="4083" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b9dbc29e51a37d408f988ef39f7656797990daf7b21f149d733536fb73d483e3/SB022.JPG" data-mid="202519129" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b9dbc29e51a37d408f988ef39f7656797990daf7b21f149d733536fb73d483e3/SB022.JPG" /><img width="5522" height="3682" width_o="5522" height_o="3682" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f97965b54b7d6ae65ea3e52f8dbef869d19168305fcdb6978648c4ca7232d7f/SB029.JPG" data-mid="202523605" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f97965b54b7d6ae65ea3e52f8dbef869d19168305fcdb6978648c4ca7232d7f/SB029.JPG" /><img width="5966" height="3977" width_o="5966" height_o="3977" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c079480c506fa4a8a1356e213b27d59b552701e412cc5e37124f296eb261fce7/SB027.JPG" data-mid="202523508" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c079480c506fa4a8a1356e213b27d59b552701e412cc5e37124f296eb261fce7/SB027.JPG" /><img width="5759" height="3839" width_o="5759" height_o="3839" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4b0dac30cad0e901aa3f104463908a5e294ab280e44d6429055876ba07fe958/SB033.JPG" data-mid="202519150" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4b0dac30cad0e901aa3f104463908a5e294ab280e44d6429055876ba07fe958/SB033.JPG" /> <img width="6240" height="4160" width_o="6240" height_o="4160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7df43819393c11f865853d981320857c2f8f01ce8eb12ccb6b010324b18a4a98/SB042.JPG" data-mid="202519156" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7df43819393c11f865853d981320857c2f8f01ce8eb12ccb6b010324b18a4a98/SB042.JPG" /> A fundamental concept of the project is the body as territory since it directly deals with the violences exerted on it. Given this, the performance is develope as a multidisciplinary collaboration, the incorporation of choreography allow us to narrate from the body and develop corporeal awareness and sensitivity. Many of the acts of violence that this project touches upon remain invisibl for most people, due mainly to a lack of sensitivity and understanding we as a society have towards our bodies. We cannot register something as being violent if we don’t even see it in the first place. In this sense, Safety Blue is a call to action, if not for others, for ourselves, for those who participate in the project, a space to work from and within the body, from sensible places that can helps us reconnect and articulate new truths. It challenges the prioritization of written history by foregrounding instead the creation of new bodily narratives. Additionally, this has been an opportunity to work closely with my mother and her life experience around this archive. As such, Safety Blue has become an intimate space to practice care and experimentation among various women. Documentation by Guillermo Arias and Paulina Cervantes.

Based on concepts and dental design techniques from smile design, the work carries a speculative methodology, a sort of future archeology that delves into the ruins of the present. The narrative is set against a landscape in which emotion and empathy become a technological extension, and where the body is a quantifiable enterprise molded by hyperreality. Carrillo’s work mainly crosses two parallel lines of thought: the leading role of digital images in the medical industry —not only as representations, but as tools that operate onto reality—, as well as the capitalist dynamics that transform, among other things, body and healthcare into commodified goods. Jens Eder and Charlotte Klank give us an account of the way images operate upon the world in Image Operations: Visual Media and Political Conflict (2017, Manchester University Press), and the three ways in which they actively infer from the world: As part of a machine operation, as a motivation for a social group to take action, and as a means of manipulation of affects and thoughts. Regarding the research that lies at the center of Flat Affect, these operative images are found on multiple levels of the medical industry, specifically in the dental health services, aiding to construct the perception of the body and its health, while also participating in the construction of desire. Through her work, Carrillo triggers the agency of the medical / aesthetic industry by setting it against a technological reality such as Faception. A company that claims to predict, reveal and catalog someone’s personality solely through an image. Corrective prostheses modify, quantify and optimize the smile when responding to these technologies creating a language that incorporates both an ancestral form of knowledge and a current one. This future archeology collapses time to weave a past that seems distant — the Totonaca pre hispanic culture with its smiley faces— with the future of facial recognition and the possible emotional and physiological changes this technology could encite. The digital image with all its complex processes becomes indispensable in this flow of information, desire and capital, but its always in response to a symptomatic condition propelled by late capitalism. We create images to modify the body, and we modify the body to create images. The acceleration and feedback between flesh, pixel and currency becomes indistinguishable. <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96497eb5b5b7e8e746d265e5fef6e3166ec7f310e1a0093128e10b08ab557bc3/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_2.jpg" data-mid="192048998" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96497eb5b5b7e8e746d265e5fef6e3166ec7f310e1a0093128e10b08ab557bc3/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_2.jpg" /> Metal, foam, tile, embroidered towel and mirror, variable dimensions. 2018 <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/033af57ae191857c9f85909e717e24d5fa1893c114a050ec356d00d3343896a5/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_4.jpg" data-mid="192049001" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/033af57ae191857c9f85909e717e24d5fa1893c114a050ec356d00d3343896a5/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_4.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7d1c94a0ce57019c5d48eb490118dde1ced21196360dcd30384826c2734bb86/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_3.jpg" data-mid="192049000" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7d1c94a0ce57019c5d48eb490118dde1ced21196360dcd30384826c2734bb86/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_3.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ed2b2177c009b25ba6bae0619ff90bcda5a8fd1621e9bc99c0c1f710081426d/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_5.jpg" data-mid="192049003" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ed2b2177c009b25ba6bae0619ff90bcda5a8fd1621e9bc99c0c1f710081426d/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_5.jpg" /> Plaster, silicone, metal, dental appliances and prosthetics, 40.6&nbsp; x 35.6 x 5.1 cm. 2018 <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38c32f5c1facb36c7ed0c2c3a66edef5ebc25c2d8601d65642e5215f1bbf1ae9/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_6.jpg" data-mid="192049004" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38c32f5c1facb36c7ed0c2c3a66edef5ebc25c2d8601d65642e5215f1bbf1ae9/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_6.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c3bf33ed0b7fa6bf23360ea555f4635aa1ba0600bd1597a7707009b3d5dc55b/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_7.jpg" data-mid="192049014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c3bf33ed0b7fa6bf23360ea555f4635aa1ba0600bd1597a7707009b3d5dc55b/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_7.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4386909287d89fb1cbcb439ed66274ee9bcca011a59cf8a07ab526a2fb8def8d/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_8.jpg" data-mid="192049015" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4386909287d89fb1cbcb439ed66274ee9bcca011a59cf8a07ab526a2fb8def8d/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_8.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bcb210ff960dff1bc991e174c786424fb1f2b2c0fa6b73d3a9aeeca7f8db7044/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_9.jpg" data-mid="192049017" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bcb210ff960dff1bc991e174c786424fb1f2b2c0fa6b73d3a9aeeca7f8db7044/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_9.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/947927082e6dbadc82e9e30ba4bd394af84acbfd637436a2b8b6ec266a07f686/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_10.jpg" data-mid="192049018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/947927082e6dbadc82e9e30ba4bd394af84acbfd637436a2b8b6ec266a07f686/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_10.jpg" /> Smile prosthetic, metal and resin, 6.5 x 2.4 x 5.7 cm. 2018 <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/013934f7a0ed813f149806393cb30734d6d271a15a8ad44e97ce4b85d6bd509e/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_11.jpg" data-mid="192049019" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/013934f7a0ed813f149806393cb30734d6d271a15a8ad44e97ce4b85d6bd509e/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_11.jpg" /> Metal, foam, digital photograph, Video HD 4:35 min. 2018 <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50e31ae6e2785aa7b311756d961e58bc5db898121b2992ff27c5c5a1a8ede085/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_12.jpg" data-mid="192049020" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50e31ae6e2785aa7b311756d961e58bc5db898121b2992ff27c5c5a1a8ede085/02_Plano-afectivo_Exhibition_12.jpg" /> Closing event.

The narrative is set against the Climatron, a geodesic dome greenhouse built in the 1960s in St. Louis, Missouri that attempted to simulate the climate zones of Hawaii, Java, the Indies, and the Amazon for research and spectacle purposes. The work draws upon the complex issues around the production of the landscape, revealing colonial logics and principals of exoticism, the relationship between power and spectacle, and how western knowledge has been legitimized through science, technology and aesthetic means. Fluctuating between fact and fiction, the work attempts to subvert the ways in which we come to understand this tropical landscape and speculate on new forms of approaching nature. Through the use of animism multiple non-human sensibilities are brought forward, sharply manifesting a super natural dimension linked to the body and the sensorial. The characters of the story; the dome, the plants, and the fake rocks, are able to weave narratives around the ethnocentric obsessions of reproducing mini foreign worlds in enclosed spaces, posing larger questions around our complex relationship to nature as an “Other”. Through desire these characters attempt to seduce the audience as a way to bring the tension between the desire of the object and the absurdity behind it. <img width="2613" height="1742" width_o="2613" height_o="1742" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/83a886c3b9c57a6698bcb682dbd0ddc1c7fe66a2b4e5128583f02b1c22a3aa43/0E4A4492.jpg" data-mid="193655600" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/83a886c3b9c57a6698bcb682dbd0ddc1c7fe66a2b4e5128583f02b1c22a3aa43/0E4A4492.jpg" /><img width="2828" height="1886" width_o="2828" height_o="1886" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1825095d3012305ac5399dcec5e6c65b29c7f49aff9192fa9f22aa9ef5ef4edd/0E4A4485-copy.jpg" data-mid="193655601" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1825095d3012305ac5399dcec5e6c65b29c7f49aff9192fa9f22aa9ef5ef4edd/0E4A4485-copy.jpg" /> Isla, roca, glaciar, Museo Jumex, Mexico City, MX, 2021 <img width="3507" height="2338" width_o="3507" height_o="2338" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/405647ccc89888aade9831177c967598c61eedeb62339cc2fc7e435fb9f10cb3/TEA_jardin-satelite_25_SA25332-1.jpg" data-mid="193655722" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/405647ccc89888aade9831177c967598c61eedeb62339cc2fc7e435fb9f10cb3/TEA_jardin-satelite_25_SA25332-1.jpg" /> Jardín Satélite, Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Tenerife, ES, 2021 <img width="2435" height="3096" width_o="2435" height_o="3096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/211a241068062906496674403d62603fd63013b9c4c838cbc268d1ed64f6e659/IS_virreymendoza.jpg" data-mid="193655735" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/211a241068062906496674403d62603fd63013b9c4c838cbc268d1ed64f6e659/IS_virreymendoza.jpg" /> A la sombra del árbol, Casa del Virrey de Mendoza, Mexico City, MX, 2019 https://acarrillo.info/Los-colores-del-viento Wed, 27 Sep 2023 21:21:04 +0000 ac_iglesias https://acarrillo.info/Los-colores-del-viento 03_ Los colores del viento <img width="4128" height="3096" width_o="4128" height_o="3096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45113766160c99490c5b7b84a9bb90330a580727f8c5fc95e3c6e8288f5f4b53/ACI04_arroniz.jpg" data-mid="193656175" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45113766160c99490c5b7b84a9bb90330a580727f8c5fc95e3c6e8288f5f4b53/ACI04_arroniz.jpg" /> <img width="4128" height="3096" width_o="4128" height_o="3096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2e83fbd303d0701a4262d1f2d78e42fc819812eb6d493f0369e9816ef32ad0e/ACI.jpg" data-mid="193656176" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b2e83fbd303d0701a4262d1f2d78e42fc819812eb6d493f0369e9816ef32ad0e/ACI.jpg" /> <img width="1198" height="1205" width_o="1198" height_o="1205" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef7ed77a437937d6396701a424a126845277b0d3c12f7750118e1f01419e953b/Screen-Shot-2021-04-19-at-11.31.20-PM.png" data-mid="193656177" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef7ed77a437937d6396701a424a126845277b0d3c12f7750118e1f01419e953b/Screen-Shot-2021-04-19-at-11.31.20-PM.png" /> En el tema musical de Pocahontas (Disney, 1995) “Colors of the wind”, Stephen Lawrence Schwartz (un hombre blanco cis de Nueva York), escribe: “Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?” (“¿Alguna vez has escuchado al lobo llorarle a la luna de maíz azul?”). Curiosamente, “blue corn moon” no hace referencia a ninguna creencia o ritual de alguna cultura nativa de Norteamérica. El autor (de nuevo, un hombre blanco cis de NY) se tomó la libertad creativa de generar un concepto “nativizado” desde su punto de vista exotizante, “estilizando” a la comunidad Powhatan para el deleite de las audiencias globales. No es difícil encontrarse con toda la historia oscura de Disney y cómo su desarrollo como marca es importantísimo para su dominio sobre los imaginarios contemporáneos. Pero, por supuesto que el esfuerzo colonizador de estandarizar todo a la imagen y semejanza de unos cuantos no empezó ni terminó con una luna de maíz azul. El entretenimiento forma parte del paquete que legitima lo que asumimos como verdades universales; sobre las personas, los animales, la naturaleza. Al cielo se le quiere alcanzar, al suelo excavar y todo lo que exista en medio está para catalogarse, no sin antes explorar los límites de su extinción y a la par, los de su simulación para perpetuar su deseo. La exhibición Los colores del viento de Andrea Carrillo Iglesias, nos invita a pensar en cómo este fenómeno se ha repetido a través de la historia, y convertido en un tropo para la cultura pop: desde Los tres caballeros (1944) y Avatar (2009) de Disney (que tiene la misma trama que Pocahontas, btw), pasando por La isla bonita de Madonna y más allá. En la gran mayoría de éstos y más ejemplos, se presenta una utopía que concilia, de inicio, diferentes culturas en entornos paradisíacos descritos como tropicales; ajenos, a veces violentos, a veces dóciles pero, en definitiva, lugares donde se puede construir una plaza comercial, grabar un video caluroso de reguetón y con un poquito más de descaro, tomar pequeñas (colosales y abusivas) muestras del ecosistema y llevarlas a otro lugar para estudiarlas, experimentar con ellas, copiarlas y modificarlas. Aunque las pantallas nos han hecho creer que todo esto solo pasa dentro de ellas, la realidad es que nos ha sucedido IRL durante mucho, mucho tiempo. Uno de los ejemplos más bizarros de esto es el Climatron: un domo invernadero construido en 1959 en el jardín botánico de St. Louis, Missouri. Originalmente fue diseñado como un centro de investigación para el estudio del comportamiento de plantas tropicales, teniendo como eje central una supercomputadora llamada Supervisory Data Center, la cual supuestamente controlaría condiciones climáticas para simular zonas de Hawái, Java, India y la Amazonia. Después de inaugurar, se dieron cuenta que esta máquina en realidad nunca funcionaría, por lo que jamás se hizo ningún tipo de experimento. En los 80’s (más o menos entre los discos Descanso Dominical y el Aidalai de Mecano), el domo pasó por una remodelación para la cual tuvieron que sacar (y, por consiguiente, matar) a gran parte de las plantas que lo habitaban. Construyeron también un segundo domo dentro del original, para poder conservar la icónica estructura. Es aquí cuando el Climatron se vuelve una simulación de la simulación, comparable con the audacity of the caucasity de Disney al crear Epcot, pensado para albergar, entre otras cosas, una especie de feria mundial con pabellones de diferentes países dentro de un espacio que se parece muchísimo al Climatron. Los colores del viento soplan (lol) en dos momentos dentro del espacio de exposición: como primer tiempo, te invitamos al área didáctica de la expo; ahí aprenderás el chisme completo del Climatron gracias a un video hecho por Andrea en colaboración con Lucía Millet y Lucía Ugena. Ojo: contiene breves interludios musicales que te sacarán unas risitas aunque desafortunadamente no te harán olvidar que estás leyendo y escuchando un análisis sobre el affair entre tecnología, ciencia y poder que occidente ha siempre utilizado como herramienta de control social, particularmente en zonas calurosas donde no se habla inglés o se habla inglés a la fuerza. Después, atraídx por lo que parece el set de un comercial de Herbal Essences Paradise, te introduces a la segunda parte de la exhibición, donde El Domo, La Planta y La Roca te reciben desde un escenario con monólogos contando su versión de su historia. Esta puesta en escena le quita el papel protagónico al hombre (blanco cis) para otorgárselo a los elementos que componen la instalación, a la vez que se apropia de estrategias de display publicitario. El Domo alude al “progreso” humano y al constante deseo de extraer, catalogar y finalmente explotar la naturaleza. La Planta representa lo exotizado, el objeto del deseo y la poción que cura el mal colonial, ella (porque es pensada siempre como mujer), una vez extraída de su ecosistema en donde realmente es útil, se vuelve un trofeo. La Roca, por su parte, se dedica profesionalmente a aparentar, a borrar las líneas entre lo que creemos es natural y artificial. Nos recuerda que hoy en día con algo de pintura verde e impresiones tenemos la facilidad de crear y recrear nuevos paisajes desde casa; la habilidad de crear nuestra propia simulación, hacer de nuestro baño otro Climatron con nuevos colores para el viento, igual y funciona de una vez por todas...En esta ocasión nos quedamos pensando si el arte es en sí un domo utópico dentro de la realidad mundial. Si es así, bienvenidxs a la tercera simulación del Climatron.

The narrative is set against the Climatron, a geodesic dome greenhouse built in the 1960s in St. Louis, Missouri that attempted to simulate the climate zones of Hawaii, Java, the Indies, and the Amazon for research and spectacle purposes.The work draws upon the complex issues around the production of the landscape, revealing colonial logic and principles of exoticism, the relationship between power and spectacle, and how western knowledge has been legitimized through science, technology, and aesthetics mean. Fluctuating between fact and fiction, the work attempts to subvert the ways in which we come to understand this tropical landscape and speculate on new forms of approaching nature. Through the use of animism, multiple non-human sensibilities are brought forward, sharply manifesting a supernatural dimension linked to the body and the sensorial. The characters of the story; the dome, the plants, and the fake rocks, are able to weave narratives around the ethnocentric obsessions of reproducing mini foreign worlds in enclosed spaces, posing larger questions around our complex relationship to nature as an “Other”. Through desire, these characters attempt to seduce the audience as a way to bring the tension between the desire of the object and the absurdity behind it. This project is part of the Institute for Postnatural Studies Composting Fields. A virtual platform that, through an experimental format of exchange, makes visible and puts in relation to the research of young thinkers and/or artists. It emerges from virtual encounters in which a dialogue is generated around specific research, previously developed by the guest thinkers and/or artists, adapting its content to an informative format. These meetings generate performative videos that show the process of the conversation, where the object’s limits overflow. It also opens access to a bibliographic archive containing the materials worked on and consulted during the development of the project; it is a free and alternative platform of knowledge. This series is coordinated by Lucía Millet and Lucía Ugena.
