∞OS & Guests: Hidden Agency © the artist
∞OS is an open-source bodymind operating system based on modulating oscillatory wave-like dynamics in space, bodies, collectives, ideas and time. The methodology of ∞OS approach to learning is based on translating various theoretical frameworks into physical practice in order to learn through direct experience and to transfer knowledge between different domains. The collective body-based practice becomes a medium and a playground for experiential understanding of images, concepts and ideas.
Focusing on the experiential modes of the human body – body-based practice, somatosensory experience, and material manifestations of affect and its linguistic actualisations – we set up the “Hidden Agency” – a speculative hybrid entity between shadow organisation, summer training camp, and open space for physical experience.
“Hidden Agency” will become a place for exploring the abstract through physical exercise and corporeal experience, including the material/discursive intra-actions and studying the reciprocal connections between them.
Hidden Agency organised by Christin Bolte, Daniela Schmidtke, and Dmitry Paranyushkin, with individual sessions being led by alternate members and guests: Ana Gzirishvili, Björn Eichhorn, Christin Bolte, Daniela Schmidtke, Diego Agulló, Dmitry Paranyushkin, Koo Des, Leandro Uría, Maru Mushtrieva, Pedro Jardim, Verónica Mota and others.
