Situación Velázquez 100 * The Architecture of Compression and Collective Memory

The voice of this intervention is activated from within a "interstitial capsule"—a Madrid apartment on the verge of dissolution. This is not merely a site for exhibition, but a high-pressure environment where the urgency of a "funeral for space" meets the tactical necessity of socioplastic action. As curators and practitioners within the PLANCTON collective, we activate this piece now because the urban fabric is increasingly composed of these vanishing points: private, historical interiors that are about to be recycled or erased by the market. We address the friction between the weight of a pre-existing past—imprinted in the dust and the layout of a home—and the fleeting, three-hour compression of contemporary artistic desire. The necessity of this work lies in its refusal to let a space disappear in silence, instead forcing a final, fertile confrontation between its domestic memory and a deliberate, professional artistic presence. The core device of Velázquez 100 is a "three-hour situation" governed by a logic of spatial colonization and professional rigor. Ten invited artists, functioning as a "symbiotic field," operate independently yet contribute to a singular, joint action. The method is strictly non-amateur: artists bring their established trajectories into the space, utilizing it as a laboratory for the compression of intent. The operational structure is defined by a set of rigid constraints: nothing can be destroyed, and everything must eventually return to its original position. Within this timeframe, the process unfolds through the "measurement" of space, where physical bodies and digital sensors (cameras as extensions of the gaze) sequence the environment into a series of "memories." This is a functional system of post-production where the work is liberated from the object and instead occurs as a series of social and symbolic projections, documented in real-time to be later reconstructed in the collective brain of the network.

A transdisciplinary entanglement where bodies and light converge into a singular, unstable social sculpture * This net functions as a tactile bridge, visualizing the invisible threads of collective agency and sustainable coexistence.

The urgency of this intervention, titled Unstable Light, stems from the need to visualize the invisible threads of collective agency within the rural landscape of Provence. This voice is activated from a "transdisciplinary terrain" where architecture and art converge to address the fragility of social bonds in a hyper-mediated world. By situating the work in France, the project addresses the necessity of a "cultural ecology" that resists rigid structures through constant mutation. It is a response to the "distributed agency" of our time, creating a mode of attention that focuses on the symbiotic relationship between people and their environment. This piece serves as a friction point against social isolation, using light as a tactile medium to weave together diverse cultural backgrounds—from Iran to Italy and Croatia—into a single, resilient social fabric. The core device of Unstable Light is a "Light Social Sculpture," a physical net of translucent material that behaves as a metabolic filter for the human body. The process involves the collective entanglement of multiple artists who use the net to bridge the gap between individual presence and symbolic projection. Operationally, the work unfolds through the tactile manipulation of this light-sensitive mesh, which is worn, stretched, and shared among participants. This is not a symbolic gesture but a functional system of "socioplastics"—the net acts as a material logic for interaction, sequencing the movements of the artists into a unified, mutating form. The process is documented through video and photography, capturing the unstable nature of the light as it interacts with the textures of the skin and the Mediterranean landscape.
