A series of situations, in which a group of devices proposes, mediates, and articulates a series of very specific and regulated contacts between an operator and the person who decides to participate, becomes a ritual, a symbolic machine to experience a lost connection.

Embedded in a ceremonial of rules to be followed and overloaded with significance, contact becomes rhizomatic: both feared and longed, necessary and forbidden, folded in on itself and inaccessible, a distant ideal, a baroque god.

The device — prosthetic extension — and its operator — in turn partially absorbed by it — will function as a heterogeneous organism, a symbiotic unit that will be the exclusive vehicle of contact, in which symbolic elements of the human, the natural and the artificial will be linked in continuity, turning limitation into a resonant bridge. 

 

Here, a structure proposes three possible attitudes toward a connection with another, within a functionality logic. To be closed, fearful or resistant, to stand in anticipation, or to attempt an exchange through an open yet grounded presence, are the evoked dispositions for an encounter. 

They are built from contacts that dive more or less into the participant’s body while inviting them to experience the resonance and the ambiguity that are inherent in categorical judgments, materialities, and symbolically charged images, revealing the inseparable associations between physicality, feeling,  intuition, and the perceptions that construct a reality.
