    		Ēngines of Ēternity : Project


    The SEADS collective presents an audiovisual live performance inspired by their art installation called "Ēngines of Ēternity". Various members of the collective collaborate to mine and remix the extensive archive of visuals and research materials from the project. The collective utilizes improvisation and live coding techniques to create ever-evolving meaning, aligning with the conceptual themes of the Ēngines of Ēternity project.

    "Echoes of Permanence" is an immersive performance that weaves together the narratives of our pursuit of cultural immortality. This symphony of data, algorithms, and visuals is born from the art installation "Ēngines of Ēternity."

    As the audience enters the realm of this journey, they are surrounded by a constellation of algorithmically generated images and sound—a digital cosmos where art and science converge. The dance of the rotifers, Earth's tiny yet resilient voyagers, unfolds before their eyes, revealing the fragments of life's permanence and change.

    Jorge Guevara

    Jorge is a Colombian choreographer, experience & interaction designer based in Brussels whose work lies in the intersection of interface technologies and sociology. His choreographies propose playgrounds where the body in time-space becomes a source of non-binary knowledge. He creates frameworks with a responsive/interactive/relational aspect where the subject of attention is the public, where the people come together. His focus is on decolonizing knowledge where the body is a source of healing.
