ELENA BAJO: With Entheogenic Intent (Burn the Witch) Performance and the Sculptural Anarchive Anarcho-ecosophist Formulations
"We live in the multilayered dimension of technomaya. Digital technology has given power to the media that is directly acting on the mind, so that the spell of the media-sphere has wrapped itself around the psychosphere. Technomaya captures the flows that proceed from the activity of the mind, and returns them to mental receptors as a mirror would, in the form of a template for future forms of life. In the digital sphere, people are spending more and more time with electronic ghosts. However the techno-media spell (technomaya) is sometimes broken down when barred windows are all of a sudden opened by the winds of joy, or by the stoms of despair. letting the dazzling light
of uncanny dimensions burst onto the scene of the social imagination, and allowing forgotten fragments of the unconscious to surface. What I would like to describe here are the ways in which the spell of semiocapitalism (financial abstraction, pecters of the mediascape) captures the social body and delivers it over to the economic code, where experience is subjected to the power of simulation and standardization. But I also wish to search for and to imagine possible lines of escape. These can only be found in those places of the unconscious where the multilayered spell of semiocapital is ripped apart in order for a creative unconscious to resurface." Franco “Bifo” Berardi, 2014.

ELENA BAJO: The Factory of Forms: Relational Settings
A Relational vehicle by Elena Bajo. By relying on chance, contingency and ubiquity, Bajo’s research-inspired and concept-desired work seeks to evoke poetical, non-hierarchical and emancipatory situations. Acting within this choreography’s sculptural setting, we live up playfully. Here, through coincidental contacts of test print runs, encountered archive material gathered and reframed by Elena Bajo and Bastien Rousseau as well as via our human, poetical capacity to relate, weinclude a disrupted fl ow of semi-capitalist logics within our personal lives and our collective spirit; relating on the currents of doubts and default acting underneath. As modern, abstract logic attempts to sustain its surface, this scene evokes a personal and sincere struggle, which challenges to dive underneath, without any guarantee to find ground.
