About UsThe machines as lovers, accomplice the self imposed exile of our bodies =BIOMACHINES
We began this stage as a collective through our experiences, where shared spaces and the common living are connecting with our enthusiasm for noise, pain and blood, we are looking for a bridge between our passion and our creative energy. In this experiential process we understand that our bodies are the main axis. Dissident bodies of a social culture of information that invades our being to defile and make us judges and executioner of ourselves. We want to design our own catastrophe, creating ourselves experimental noise and by modifying our bodies which should be our only real property. The tattooing machine as an artifact, becomes our ally to desecrate the correct and controlled use of bodies and lives associated with the idea of health, normality and productivity, in a capitalist system where information and the control of bodies plays an essential role. As biomachines we resist and reply to this rule becoming a deconstructive virus that creates a new file from the borders. We want to be a mistake, a findable error (ff) , a virus in the oppressor and organized system that wants us submissive and conformist, where the only authorized addictions are the pharmaceutical corporations numbing pain. We want to design an evil and destructive imaginary which affects and pervert whomever interacts with it producing an exercise of reflection, that allows and affect the destruction of the internal police. Sound and visual archive of chosen pain and insurrection pleasure, eroticization of violence and the noise as antithesis against the normative complacent melody. Electrify our blood and make it close the noisier and scarred creator circuit. Our body as a battlefield, pleasure-pain as a weapon, and blood flow as a distorted information. We want to tattoo in our bodies and souls the anger against this not life. Not to forget. |
