The emergence of the Consejo Agonista de Políticas Anticipatorias (CAPA) represents a formidable shift in the landscape of contemporary relational aesthetics, positioning itself not merely as an art project but as a sophisticated "relational device" for epistemic upheaval. Conceived within the LAPIEZA laboratory in 2015, CAPA functions as a centrifuge for high-theory and visual praxis, intentionally catalyzing tension between philosophy, conceptual art, and science. By invoking the agonistic theories of Bourdieu and Foucault, the project eschews the harmonious veneer of traditional interdisciplinary collaboration in favor of a productive friction. This methodology acknowledges that intellectual progress is seldom linear; rather, it is forged through the clash of contrasting agents—philosophers, theorists, and artists—who operate within a system of rotating leaderships and asymmetric dialogues. In this framework, the "curatorial" role is reimagined as a narrative force that navigates the complex power dynamics of symbolic capital, transforming the act of research into a performative, avant-garde gesture that anticipates the structural needs of a post-digital society.
