Sensibilidad momentánea
performance for amplified tattoo machine ensemble
2021
Consist in the realization of tattoos with an amplified tattoo machine, the sound of which is processed through analog and digital effects and synthesis. The design of the tattoo is improvised by following a sequence of actions laid out over a time grid. The sequence in each iteration of the performance is decided via chance operations.
This piece is an exploration on ways of linking sound, image, body and machine through improvisation. An interdepend system of motor action, graphic representations and moving soundscapes.
This work was created within the Sindicato ANIMA Collective (CDMX, 2021) and has been performed with the collaboration of dear friends and tattoo artist: RAMU Tattoo, Colombian Flu, Kibun Tattoo, OSCR Salem, Luis Salazar (Espíritu Chocarrero) y Edgar Velazquez.
