Awaska: Los tecjidos de la palabra

Abstract

This research-creation project focuses on the development of multimedia installations through the relationship of languages ​​such as weaving, performance and net art. In this way, it is intended to problematize the practice of weaving in chaquira as an activity that beyond the artisanal exercise can provide theoretical and technical elements to inquire about my own idea of ​​art and its relationship with technology, language and nature. This, from questions that arise from sharing with the Inga indigenous community and his way of understanding life. From this point of view, a dialogue will be established between weaving and the disciplines mentioned above; art will be here means to weave interdisciplinary relationships and go beyond the limits between art, craft and design. The relationships of the fabric with nature, technology and language are dealt with here from practices such as indigenous crafts and electronic and digital art. It has been followed the research-creation line, where from the creation and experimentation of the work in relation to its artistic and theoretical references gives way to reflection. The presentation of the work consists in the registration of the elaboration of eight codes QR woven in mostacilla in trees of various cities in Colombia such as Bogotá, Medellín, Neiva, Mocoa that when scanned are directed to the web portal created for the project: www.awaskart.com.
