La Máquina is a poem inspired by the book “Translucent Shadows”, by Peter Lamborn Wilson. In the book, the author reflects on the dystopias of a future built by machines that, in a lucid dream, envy the organic capacity of humans. The machines, deep down, only want to be like us, their parents and creators, but not before, of course, destroying us.
The work is a composition created using Motion video software. The visualization is composed of geometries and effects native to the program. Among the featured elements is a three-dimensional representation of the head of the artist Marcos de la Fuente, generated through a photogrammetry process.
