PROJECT:
Transformaciones
PLACE:
Sta Ana, Zegache
DATE:
01.01.2009 to 01.01.2011
Transformaciónes is an artistic collaboration between Performing Pictures and Mexican partners Proyecto Zegache and La Curtiduria – starting in late autumn 2009. In 2010 and 2011 we are looking for means to continue the project, which works with technology‐enhanced arts as a community catalyst for socio‐economic development. In the project, we w ill develop “devotional objects” in the community of Zegache as well as in the residential city of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Transformaciones is all about generating strong beneficial social impact of developing new artefacts and activities, reconceptualising them into products/services, finding new markets, learning new things.
The motives behind the project are artistic as well as idealistic and pragmatic: to create universal images that build upon the relation with the spectator, and at the same time uphold cultural uniqueness through translations of a traditional expression into new media.
