“There is no single technique, but multiple cosmotechniques”
Inspired by the thought of Yuk Hui, Cosmotécnicas proposes an encounter between the many technological existences that coexist through music, performance, and the visual arts. The proposal by Volumen brings together SYSTEMA (dj set), Pipo del Hierro (Vj set) the performance TECHNOFACIAL (by Nayarit Fuentes and Paula Mira) and the AV live set by Chryso (TSO + Okaro) seeking to materialize that multiplicity through a constellation of practices in dialogue with Madrid’s most experimental scene. Diverse, fragmentary and plural humanities converge here to challenge the global path imposed by a late capitalism on the verge of collapse.
The Volumen collective generates a symbiosis between artist and place, embodying the tensions and questions of contemporary art today. Its projects unfold as immersive experiences where installation, music, visual arts, and performance converge in a single gesture. Each event is conceived as a collective intervention in space—a sensory eruption that engages perception, the body, and the commons. Formed by Adrián Canto, Adrián M. Abellán, Álvaro Jarabo, Curtiso, Jimena Vila, Nacho González, Nicolás Escalona, Nuria Ballester, and Violeta Arana, the collective understands art as an open and expanded conversation among the creative agents of society. Their practice advocates for collaboration and the creation of plural networks activated through open calls and shared processes.
