Context
Within the Minimalia project DMAV created a series of performances involving Babatwoosh, the digital visionary from Iceland. The meeting with Babatwoosh, who for many years has been carrying out practices that combine the reactivation of forms of contact with the sacred typical of oriental rituals with specific attention paid to digital experiments, was an opportunity for DMAV to generate further level of comparison with the social space.
Intervention
The performance created within Minimalia re-enacts the Hindu experience of Darshan, the meeting with the guru, through an experiment that works on the border between spiritual research, collective rituality and the mind control techniques that pervade communication Contemporary. Halfway between artistic performance, collective hypnosis operation and reflection on the contemporary sacred, Babatwoosh offers those who come into contact with her a moment of awareness and activation of a paradoxical contemporary sacred. By creating a dimension of collective ritual, the actions carried out by DMAV together with Babatwoosh are the opportunity to reinvent a space of meditation, adoration and healing.
Side notes
In one of the most intense encounters of the performance, the letter to Babatwoosh by Alessandro Mezzena Lona, journalist and writer from Trieste, takes shape. (Link to text).
