Umbrales e-Pormundos Afeto · 2009 – 2011

E-pormundos afeto is a project that focuses on how emotions and interpersonal relations are lived in the culture of the virtual, in which our understanding of presence and absence and the idea of distance, are changing.

The digital redimensionned transformations of our contemporary life are explored in the telepresence piece e-Pormundos afeto.

A networked dance piece in connection between Brazil and Spain, initiated and directed by Ivani Santana in Brazil, with the collaboration of GTMDA (Workgroup in Digital Media and Arts) a transnational group that promotes projects of distributed and telematic dance, based on the development of the software platform Arthron.
