Holocausto de Oxígeno is a stage work by Inervo Company that explores the relationship between body, environment, and transformation through contemporary performance. The piece is conceptually informed by the writings of Lynn Margulis, particularly her understanding of life as a symbiotic and interdependent process shaped by radical biological transitions.

My collaboration on Holocausto de Oxígeno focuses on the development and performance of the live visual system. Working in close dialogue with the performers, I designed a real-time audiovisual layer integrating body-tracking systems and generative AI processes. Movement data captured from the body is translated into evolving visual structures that respond to gesture, rhythm, and spatial intensity.

The visual system operates in an ongoing dialogue with choreography and sound, functioning not as a scenographic backdrop but as an active component of the performance. Through live modulation and generative processes, the visuals amplify states of transformation, instability, and emergence that run through the piece.

Holocausto de Oxígeno builds upon an earlier collaborative phase titled Cuerpos Errantes, presented at Espronceda Art Center in collaboration with the Institut de Ciències del Mar de Barcelona and within the context of LOOP Barcelona. This initial phase functioned as a research ground from which the current stage work evolved.

My contribution to Holocausto de Oxígeno explores how live visual systems can be performed rather than operated, unfolding through bodily movement and remaining open to instability, transformation, and emergence during the performance.
