DESCRIPTION

LIVE CODED AUDIOVISUAL CONCERT AND VIDEO INSTALLATION, ALGORITHMIC-MUSIC-DRIVEN VIDEO GAME ANIMATION AND MACHINE LEARNING.

AUTOCONSTRUCCION is a live coded audiovisual concert and a video game animation executed by algorithms in real time. The AV concert narrates with fictions of speculative architecture, the phenomenon of informal housing in countries like Mexico, the United States, Latin America, Asia, India and some European peripheries. We are interested in the ability of writing and live editing (coding) to enunciate, create and tell audiovisual stories in a liquid and granular way. Self-construction

WHAT WE DID

Represents the most real option for the majority of the popular classes that inhabit megacities, defying the rigid limitations imposed by traditional architecture, real estate speculation and the economic crisis, transforming their living spaces into a constant work in progress, giving rise to new forms of self-expression, where flexibility, informality and pragmatism reign, reflecting the true essence of humanity.

WHAT’S NEXT STARTS HERE.
