The idea that serves as the basis for this performance is the translation from digital to analogue. The “handmade” digital, brought to real lif through cardboard, plastic and fabric, in a desperate attempt to make it tangible. As the maximum exponent of digital in our day-to-day, a Macintosh computer was chosen to be manually converted on stage, activating all users and mechanisms of the computer when turned on. The five artists on stage become operators of computer systems and the stage becomes a large analog computer. Thus, the computer's work environment is a cinema setting, the documents are cardboard folders and the lights of this set design are the glow emanating from the computer screen. We decode the digital by activating the computer on stage, presenting the result on a large screen in front of the viewers. — Cris Blanco
