About

The idea that serves as the basis for this performance is the translation from digital to analogue. The "handmade" digital, brought to real life through cardboard, plastic and fabric, in a desperate attempt to make it tangible. As the leading digital in our day-to-day, a Macintosh computer was chosen to be manually converted on stage, activating all users and mechanisms of the computer when is switched on. The five artists on stage become computer system operators and the stage becomes a large analogue computer. Thus, the computer's work environment is a cinema setting, the documents are cardboard folders and the lights of this set design are the glow emanating from the computer screen. We decode the digital by activating the computer on stage, presenting the result on a large screen in front of the viewers. - Cris Blanco
