Action: Gypsotechno (video)
5ᵗʰ biennale svizzera del territorio:
back to the future
October 4 - November 30, 2024
Opening October 4 - 5, 2024
Disassembling, destroying, and fragmenting are parts of the re-use metabolism which can foreshadow actually optimistic future scenarios of a non-extractive architecture. Gypsotechno is a destruction collective performance, with a shredder machine as main actor, a rather obtuse device, embodying the singular moment of destruction, but as part of a creative reuse cycle. The noise produced by the grinding of the material will be captured and live-edited to create a soundscape as part of a festive ritual.
A project by HPO with Samuele Bertoni, POL100, Caterina Massarenti, conducted in partnership with SUPSI Institute of Materials and Constructions (IMC) and Rigips AG
