Building Chains
of Auxiliary Agents
Lecture Performance by Elio J Carranza
Stedelijk Museum
Curated by Judith Leysner
Like my dear friend Pom RA Walden, I also understand world-building as an embodied methodology for the now, not a visionary tool for an imagined future. During the forty-five-minute session, we will playfully explore the modelling of sensory aids, grounding tactics, and mobility tools out of vegan wax. The resulting form will be a collectively conceived physical chain of auxiliary agents.
