TECHNOLOGIES. SENSORS. INTERFACES. OCTOPUSSYNTRIC
A Workshop by Constanza Piña Pardo (artist, dancer, researcher Berlin/ Chile), Nicol Rivera Aro (artist, researcher, dramaturg, Berlin/ Chile), pamela varela (artist, activist, poet, Berlin, Mexico), Flo Razoux (biologist, educator, Berlin/ Marseille)

OCTOPUSSYNTRIC is a theoretical and practical laboratory to develop an electronic device that enables the participants to interconnect with each other and expand their sensorial abilities through electro-symbiosis. After an introduction to narratives of
various mythologies, inter-species biological concepts, cultural representations of pleasure and sexuality, and the ritual as a transformative act of togetherness, the participants will be invited to build the prototype of the device and, then, present it to the festival attendants during a collective rite/performance. Connected through an octopus-like pleasure antenna, alien bodies will merge into a unique open source body, in which the inner spiritual creatures of each contributing cell will be revealed.

You can book a Day Pass of the Festival and register in the morning of each day 15th and 16th June for the OCTOPUSSYNTRIC Workshop here: https://pretix.eu/artlaboratory-berlin/?style=week
