Teaser



CHRONICA is an immersive experience that links millennia-old papermaking techniques and contemporary augmented reality technologies to explore themes of illness and healing processes.


Through the trajectory of a memory that the spectator extracts from his or her head, we will experience an introspective, tactile and sonic journey.





CHRONICA takes the form of both an exhibition and an augmented reality performance.

The exhibition is modular and can take different forms and occupy spaces ranging from a single wall, a small designated space in a group show, smaller galleries with a single room, to large-scale spaces consisting of one or more rooms.
As an option, the exhibition is accompanied by a handmade paper laboratory as well as performances by the artists during the exhibition.




The title CHRONICA refers to the concepts of linear and non-linear time.

It also echoes physical chronicles: a collection of historical events, ordered chronologically.

On the other hand, it evokes a chronic condition, prolonged in time, continually occurring or constantly recurring; a long-lasting illness or pain.


The exhibition can take place in full light or in darkened rooms.
A certain degree of daylight restriction is recommended for the experience to be fully perceived.





The graphic vocabulary of the experience is the page.
A page represents the memory of a moment in a day.
These pages, all of the same size (10 cm x 15 cm), are the sole basis for CHRONICA's entire visual universe.





The page as part of a sequence, of a book.
The paper page and its fibers as a metaphor for the process of memory consolidation.
The wall of pages, the labyrinth of pages.
The virtual page that responds to the real page.
The page that can be zoomed in and out until you lose yourself.
The page as a functional form, which accompanies our daily lives, as a medium for writing books, archives, notes, calculations or drawings for thousands of years.







We want to turn this limitation into a strength, by "exhausting" the potential of the page in space to unfold entire virtual universes based on these simple abstract and organic forms.
