W139, Amsterdam (The Netherlands) - Performance
With performer Amanda Payne
The performance held at W139 consisted of the opening of a physical location of the “NFT Bank of Resistance”. This pop-up office was designed as a space for dialogue with other art makers in the Amsterdam area to build a community where profit is a collective concern, an alternative to the “tech-bro” dream of the NFT world.

Raw data can be interpreted in many ways, to the extent of supporting contradictory statements. senseProm.apk is a work that speculates — through marketing and performative media — with the possibility of an artificial intelligence capable of generating data comprehension systems through the language of advertising and performance.

De Appel, Amsterdam (The Netherlands) "Future Everyday Life" initiative curated by Masha Domracheva
In response to Masha Domracheva’s initiative, we decided to experiment with the possibilities of the blockchain technology for the support of the art community. "Future Everyday Life" addressed the precarity of artistic communities in Amsterdam and their role in the mechanisms of real estate. Our aim here is was to investigate the potential of marketing tools outside of their everyday logic. In particular, since NFTs are often used for individual gain, we asked ourselves: “What would it look like if this technology supported collective objectives?”

Digital film & Installation
Mirror is a film & installation of lyrical fiction based in a tuberculosis hospital in Valladolid (Spain), a place of interest for local youth, Instagrammers and para-psicology enthusiasts. As a mid-twentieth century construction from the Francoist era, this hospital is one of the many architectures left behind to crumble and disappear under weeds. This short piece reflects on these contemporary uses of the building while attempting to put together other narratives around the place.

Off-site XR installation
This piece is the contribution to the exhibition project Patatas Guerra. It consists of an off-site XR installation in which we studied and “occupied” an old abandoned quarry in the Carrara Marble extraction area in Italy. The site, known as “The Hole of the Moon” by the local population, allowed us a series of verbal and visual associations with our work on space exploration. We developed this set of references in collaboration with Manuel D’Onofrio, a playful proposal that connects NASA’s freely available materials with stories of nocturnal encounters of youth.

This multimedia project was our first work as a collective. During a collaboration with the performer Valerie Taejeong Lee Jung in Amsterdam we produced live recordings that would be later re-worked into a web-series, curated by Débora Levy. The end-product were three episodes broadcasted by Radial Gallery (Madrid, New York) where we combined our interests for science fiction and party cultures. In this series of transmissions we drew on fleeting images and notions around the ideas of space exploration, health and the new folk knowledge of allegedly scientific genetic studies.
Each episode of Orientation-Induction-Launch was additionally viewable at undisclosed times throughout the duration of the intervention, at the following address:
