Se pretende visualizar las metodologías y los accionares de la materia viva desde el arte contemporáneo latinoamericano y repensar tanto las prácticas como los modos de exhibición.

It is a proven fact that, we've increased our knowledge about nature specially on microscopic world because the pandemic. The knowledge was accompanied by a fear. In the performance we use the laboratory technics to showed the beautiful aspects of micro organisms and try to talk about the organisms by an artistic language to decrease the fear and respect our biological values.

In this multimodal essay, I discuss some of the practices and experiences from the first Kelp Congress, part of the Lofoten International Arts Festival (LIAF, 2019). In the context of the festival, I participated in a workshop navigated by Dr Sabine Popp, Kelp Diagramming Collective. Transversally I touch issues regarding non-human agency, intra-action (Barad, 2003), and especially the understanding of the vegetable and algae life as the paradigm for thinking and developing new subjectivities and art (or not) practices, guided by the work of the Italian philosopher Emanuele Coccia.
This essay was supposed to be presented in a video/online 30-min format during the 11th SAR International Conference on Artistic Research 2020 is organized by the Society for Artistic Research (SAR), Bergen.
