Marcel.lí
Antúnez's Protomembrana will open the forthcoming Borges
en Curt International Short Film Festival.
The 3rd edition of the Borges en Curt International Short
Film Festival will open on Friday September 15, with a performance
on the "arched square".
Protomembrana is a mechatronic* conference that describes
Marcel.lí's creative methodology known as Systematurgy.
The narrative element is supported by different technical
devices among which are; a dreskeleton, an image capturing
device and multimedia projection.
Since the end of the 20th century, the emergence of computational
systems and the technology associated with them have brought
about a radical metamorphosis in certain aspects of social
behaviour. Artistic activity is not indifferent to these changes
and some production means have been transformed, especially
in those works that have a temporal dimension to their discourse.
Being aware of the transformation implicit in this situation,
Marcel·lí created a number of works at the beginning
of the nineties – JOAN L'Home de Carn (1992) and Epizoo
(1994) – which used computational systems in a consubstantial
way and with these works he launched a working methodology
that is still ongoing.
Systematurgy is a new computational dramaturgy which transforms
the usual scenic methodologies into a process that includes
a technical diagram made up of interfaces, computational programming
and digitally controlled representational means. The narrative
structure of the Protomembrance conference is based on how
these subjects are dealt with, preceded by an introduction.
Protomembrane includes some of the practical elements of Marcel·lí's
work, although fundamentally, it proposes a different topography
by emphasizing unusual or unknown aspects, or those that are
rarely dealt with from what could be called Systematurgy's
field of action. In this way, and as an example, the conference
describes certain forms of interface such as those which are
instinctive or involuntary, forms of random narration and
other means of representation such as the "Dolores Orchestra"
or the "Ballet Méchanique".
Protomembrane is an open work and ongoing, open to incorporating
new elements and different means of expression.
