Raisa Aid, 25°36’10.5”S 57°34’48.0
The biodiversity of birds in southern Latin America is shifting in search of habitable territories due to the environmental impact caused by humans. Technology as we know it today is incompatible with environmental protection, with one advancing and the other regressing. In her work, Raisa Aid offers an alternative to the widespread idea of opposition between technology and nature. Her approach, at the intersection of computer science and the formation of bio-energies, examines the transgeneric confusion between organic and inorganic.

Popline Fichot, “Les Fulgurées”
Plunges us into the heart of a strange fetishism. The works narrate the daily life of a keraunophile woman. “Fulguration is a very powerful experience: one feels euphoria, extreme energy, and gains a power to act. After a fulguration, one can even, in some cases, access buried memories, fragments of distant moments, usually unattainable. She imagines a “fulguration” device for new types of romantic relationships. A meeting point for sensual and sexual experiences imagined to satisfy shared “stormy impulses.”
