2014 to present

ANTIPLAN is a project that produces audiovisual experiments and works, both in its laboratory and in live performance, with one of its main focuses being the development of an organic and expressive synchrony between image and sound. The sound and visual materials with which it experiments are created, composed, and performed by the same person, who also develops and programs the technological tools that make it possible to construct a synchronous convergence between both languages. The construction of the system, along with its possibilities and its limitations, forms part of the creative process. At its current stage, much of the live work takes the form of free audiovisual improvisation. The synchrony it proposes possesses a precision that is difficult to reproduce in video or through streaming, finding its fullest expression in the live experience. The project was inaugurated in 2014 at the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, as part of the *Escuchar [Sonidos Visuales]* series, and has since passed through different reincarnations, each with its own concepts and degrees of technical development. The live performances are produced together with Laura Santos. As its name suggests, ANTIPLAN proposes surrendering to a journey without a map, emancipating oneself from certain structures of understanding, and allowing oneself to be carried by the most primary impulses. This idea may apply to the audience, but first and foremost it is a way of working: any moment can be the right moment for anything, if impulse or intuition calls for it. The anti-plan also means accepting one fundamental law: everything that can fail—especially when a computer and multiple interconnected electronic devices are involved—will fail. That possibility is not a flaw in the system, but part of the system itself.
