Rubble King
Cine-Teatro Garrett, Sala de Actos (Exhibition Hall)
Synopsis
Rubble King introduces a body that tracks archetypes. An entity inside a sandbox, a place of unlimited information, an overly productive circuit looking for assimilable models. This universal body is viral, an unfiltered circuit randomly interrupted by self-satisfaction. Glimpses of real movement structures are present as if they were a second skin, the artificial intelligent. Change, change, change, the evolution through immersive ambiguity, a rational ridiculousness.
