Pluriversal Disturbances

Pluriversal Disturbances will sing the songs of micro-gestures that flow between critical codes, indigenous futurism, protective media, and speculative encounters in unworlds.

Ricardo Dominguez was a member of Critical Art Ensemble and a cofounder of Electronic Disturbance Theater 1.0 (EDT), a group that developed Virtual-Sit-In technologies in 1998 in solidarity with the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico, with Carmin Karasic, Brett Stalbaum and Stefan Wary.
