Dication_send LiveAV: Juan Flores + castroduperly

Dication_send is an audiovisual performance that emerges from the concept of feedback between voice, machine, and code. We aim to delve into the notion that language is a virus and attempt to generate a horizontal conversation (rather than a command-based one) between the human and the non-human (our technology), revealing that language has infected us all equally.

Doors open at 6:30pm

Tickets

$20 for General Admission presale

$25 for General Admission at the door

$10 for Student (proof of ID will be requested at door)

Free for museum members

About the artists:

Juan Flores is a multidisciplinary artist born in Del Rio, TX and raised in the southeast side of San Antonio, TX. He received his BA in Art from Connecticut College in New London, CT. He was the recipient of the Mortimer Hays-Brandeis Fellowship which funded his concentration on sound art in Mexico City for over a year. He holds an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Art & Technology Studies Program with a focus in kinetic art and live coding.

Juliana Castro Duperly, video artist and live video performer who understands video and written text as agents of construction and de-construction of meaning. The plasticity of both media allows her to create aesthetics that veil and unveil a poetry that, like video in real time, resides in the execution. Constantly collaborating with sound artist and musicians, her work has been showed in Sónar Bogotá, Hyde Park Art Center, ESS, Visual Art Network of South Africa (VANSA), Mutek.co, Festival Domo Lleno, and Ars Electronica.

The International Museum of SurgicalScience acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.

About the Multidisciplinary Recovery Series: The International Museum of Surgical Science supports a commitment to contemporary art and artists through exhibitions and programs that use the frame of contemporary artistic practice to examine new perspectives in medical and surgical science and our relationship to the body. The Museum continuously seeks artist performance and workshop proposals for its contemporary art program. Performing artists can be within the category of visual art, poetry, music, and experimental, among others.

This project is partially supported by a Chicago Arts Recovery Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events.
