Day 3: Regeneration

This workshop by eightOS focuses on the concept of regeneration. The physical exercises are designed to allow our bodies to regenerate from stress, as well as relieving pain and enabling a state of dynamic rest. Regenerative breathing is used as a tool to reset and restore our systems into their original shapes. Such regenerative techniques are explored in relation to the concepts from the previous day’s sessions (Day 1: Ecological Confluence; Day 2: Inclusive Exclusivity), redefining health as a dynamic homeostatic process. Limitations as imposed from the outside become a source of inspiration, enabling freedom of movement. eightOS motion sensors combined with AI-generated feedback create unique and momentary soundscapes in space.

eightOS is a body-mind operating system co-founded by Dmitry Paranyushkin and Koo Des. Their practice studies how physical movement can be used to better understand the dynamics of interaction and to then scale this understanding into other contexts. eightOS explore the ethical, scientific and aesthetic implications of this approach. Paranyushkin and Des presented their work at Gwangju Biennale (2021), Palais de Tokyo (2018) and other contexts.  https://8os.io/
