Mario Santamaria<\/strong>\u2019s project Visions from The Fall<\/em><\/strong> explores the fungibility and substance of territories and bodies in a performative entanglement of virtual and physical space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video documents a digital avatar during an impossible fall from one of the most distant galaxies ever observed. Viewing the avatar\u2019s billions-of-years-long fall through the virtual space of the Voxels metaverse, we see only abstract patterns, as the glitchy moving image faces us and its technological substrate with the limit of representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the gallery space, the installation physically reproduces the perimeters of a virtual plot of land for sale at its actual coordinates in the Next Earth metaverse, indicating the vectorial regime underlying both lands. Physically doubling a space that \u2013 while virtual \u2013 is closely and materially entangled with the existing world is completed with a liquid cooling system, hinting at the invisible decentralised infrastructures that executed the cyber poetic endeavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
