Materials of the Future
Materials of the Future approaches the mechanisms from which we construct our cultural archetypes related to the idea of the future from the field of speculative fiction.
These Materials of the Future, which we refer to in the title of our exhibition, as well as the sound piece Which materials do we construct the future with?, refer back to substances which exist in the present but will revolutionize the future. These materials: vantablack, grapheme, upsalite... are of enormous potential and will bring huge advances in sectors such as space, defence, transport, construction or technology, transforming society, politics and the economy.
In Which Materials do we construct the future with?, a distorted voice confronts us the terrible consequences of progress. Its echoes tell us of how these materials may become an illness, appearing as a reflexion of dystopian reality. This illness, the stains of the future, are the result of multiple chemical sensitivity produced by these materials of the future, and reveal the uneasiness produced, which transcends the physical, impregnating each and every pore of the social body. On the walls of the gallery we find the correlate to this story, presented as a discoloured, sick body. Its stains bring us into an uncomfortable pictorial field, where an interplay between appearance and contradiction takes place. Thus we observe the lack of clear definition between pixelated brushstroke and its manual correspondent or contradictions of the swellings worked into glass whose opacity seems to deny its very nature.
On the other hand, the Materials of the Future directs us to the area of ideas, hypotheses which foreshadow a vision of the future. Starting out from these assumptions, pieces like the sculpture M is W? or the installation Strings have been inspired by graphic representations of String Theory. This theory unifies macro with micro. That is, the, until now incompatible, theories of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. String Theory imagines a universe made up, not of particulars, but of vibrating strings in concert. This theory has never been demonstrated. However, it has served for us to imagine time travel, parallel worlds, additional dimensions, feeding in this way the literary and filmic spaces of Sci-fi. In M is W?, this speculation starts at the title which plays with the initial of the surname of Ed Witten, precursor of the M theory. The speculation proceeds with the very de-contextualization of logic and scientific speculation of the piece in order to take up space in the gallery as Heterotopia. In Strings the idea of different dimensions which articulate the exhibition, different realities which interconnect, show themselves in the strings which emerge from or penetrate the spaces blurring their own limits.
Materials of the Future
Materials of the Future se aproxima a los mecanismos a partir de los cuales construimos un imaginario conexo a la idea de futuro desde el terreno de la ficción especulativa.
Estos “materiales del futuro” a los que hace referencia el título de la muestra, así como la pieza sonora ¿Con qué materiales se construye el futuro?, aluden a sustancias que existen en el presente pero que revolucionarán el futuro. Estos materiales: vantablack, grafeno, upsalita…de enorme potencial traerán grandes avances en sectores como el espacial, la defensa, los transportes, la construcción o la tecnología transformando de este modo la sociedad, la política y la economía.
En ¿Con qué materiales se construye el futuro? una voz distorsionada nos enfrenta con las terribles consecuencias del progreso. Sus ecos narran la posible deriva de estos materiales en una enfermedad que aparece como reflejo de la realidad distópica. Esta enfermedad, las manchas del futuro, son resultado de la sensibilidad química múltiple producida por los materiales del futuro, y revela un malestar que trasciende lo físico impregnando cada poro del cuerpo social.
El correlato de esta historia lo encontramos en las paredes de la galería que se presentan como un cuerpo manchado y enfermo. Sus manchas nos introducen en un campo pictórico incómodo, donde transcurre un juego de apariencias y contradicciones. Así, observamos la indecisión entre la pincelada pixelada y su traducción manual o la contradicción de las protuberancias realizadas en cristal cuya opacidad pareciera que niega su naturaleza.
Por otro lado, los materiales del futuro apuntan al campo de las ideas, hipótesis que prefiguran una visión del porvenir. Partiendo de estos presupuestos, piezas como la escultura M is W? o la instalación Strings se inspiran en representaciones gráficas de la teoría de las cuerdas. Esta teoría unificaría lo macro con lo micro. Es decir, las por ahora incompatibles teoría de la relatividad general y la mecánica cuántica. La teoría de las cuerdas imagina un universo compuesto no por partículas, sino por cuerdas vibrantes en concierto. Esta teoría jamás habría sido demostrada. Sin embargo, habría servido para imaginar viajes en el tiempo, realidades paralelas, dimensiones adicionales nutriendo de este modo el terreno fílmico y literario del Sci-Fi. En M is W? la especulación comienza desde su título que juega con la inicial del apellido de Ed Witten, precursor de la teoría M. La especulación prosigue en la propia descontextualización de la estructura lógica y científica de la pieza para tomar espacio en la galería como heterotopía. En Strings la idea de diferentes dimensiones con la que se articula la exposición, distintas realidades que conectan, queda evidenciada en las cuerdas que emergen o penetran en el espacio desdibujando sus propios límites.
