Konic Thtr

Artistic platform dedicated to contemporary creation at the confluence of art and new technologies. Its activity focuses on the use of interactive technology applied to artistic projects. Rosa Sánchez, multimedia and multidisciplinary artist, founded Kónic Thtr in 1985 after research based on conceptual and technological ideas, taking care of artistic direction. In 1990 he began his collaboration with Alain Baumann, musician, multimedia artist and researcher of new systems for producing sound. He is responsible for interactive systems. The lines of research and artistic experimentation of the project are linked to technology, which have applicability in interactive stage projects and audiovisual installations. Their artistic, scenic and exhibition projects incorporate interactive technologies, audiovisual and multimedia languages, performance, music and dance. Kónic thtr's activity is structured around four axes: research, creation, training and publications. They have participated in the exhibition Banquete_Nodos y Redes, with Mur.muros, an interactive installation that talks about the permanent displacement of people, their continuous mobility towards powerful geographical and geopolitical attractors. Metaphor for the ambivalent utopia-dystopia relationship, focused on the game of local-global relationships. It is an architecture that has an external sensitive part and an internal responsive body. Two entrances serve as exterior-interior communication. On the exterior wall, on the sides of access to the interior of the module, as viewers, there are four small screens with microphones. These screens show video images that refer to the entrance doors to the city, to the utopian world, images that tell us about the journey and arrival at a place. The sonic stimulus puts the exterior and interior of the architecture in communication and thus serves as input to activate the digital geodesic world terra_i_vida, which uses properties of artificial life to generate the representation of this data.
