Cripto Sirenas

A self-described science-fiction and multimedia worldbuilding venture aimed at speculating on tech-solutionism, totalitarian algorithms, and the impact of these growing realities on our bodies and environments.

Bienvenue à la rencontre entre moiteur et cryptominage.

This multimodal landscape of cyborg ballerinas has at its heart a 360° video projection conceived out of a somatic writing process that immerses the viewer in a captivating narrative. Throughout the installation, the artists rearticulate and rethink the mediatization of their bodies in various artefacts. Two-dimensional remnants—brightly patterned wallpapers, punchy collages, and heavily edited photographs—provide context for the scattered three-dimensional sculptural representations and appendages of the artists’ performing selves that populate the space. Video-recorded theoretical conversations with web3 researcher Josh Davila mix and contrast with an organic ecology that combines the digital with the physical; the real with the more-than-unreal; the messy, leaky multi-faceted humanoid with the sleekness of the mainframe. Multiplying their presence throughout, the Cripto Sirenas are an ever-evolving proposition, submerging their audience into a wash cycle of information, affect, and movement, a living altar and a Manifesto for Moist Futures.
