Vermouth with Juan David Galindo, Saturday 3rd December 12:30 - 14h.
The project Deferred Space is a video installation made up of closed circuits of webcams and screens. It explores the mediation of interconnected screens, reviewing the way in which individuals relate to their impulses, their own image and the experience of space.
"When a machine works efficiently [...] one only needs to concentrate on the benefits it generates and not its inner complexity. Thus, paradoxically, it happens that science and technology the more successful they become the more opaque they become" Bruno Latour
Juan David Galindo has a degree in Arts and Design from Escola Massana, Barcelona. He attended the Independent Studies Program at MACBA (2017-2018), and is currently a resident artist at Hangar Centre for Art Research and Production until 2023.
There are thousands of Juanes in the world and he signs as Un Juan. Through his artistic projects Juan David investigates the models of subjectivation that deform, discipline, limit and empower the self. These projects are materialised through archive, video and performance. He delves into the construction of subjectivity, starting from what shapes the self beyond identity and biography.
