About

       ToxiCity is a collective performance and on-going project that collects and maps air toxicity levels in different cities. For this purpose several speculative bodies, human-trash hybrids in a “DIY cyber-punk post-apocalyptic” armor, wander the city sensing the atmosphere around them and reacting to it by triggering oscillating sounds mediated by DIY electronics and open-source software.

 Through the projection of a body that enunciates the unseen constant air pollution that surround us on a daily basis, - and thus, making it a common ground for every being in the planet -, there is an attempt to criticize the techno-fixes our petrol fuelled societies rely on today to extend our lives in this sick capitalist system by creating a scenario of confusion and noise that reflect the intensity of pollution.

      ToxiCity reflects on the human condition, on our collective effort and actions to remain alive, in an attempt to question our ways to cope with climate change and natural imbalance.
