presence. New Bionics' otherworldly environment was set in the scene of an abandoned office, full of dilapidated equipment and unkempt supplies. Out of quantities of shredded documents grew stalagmite-like shapes, moss-like textures and grass-like ground cover, reclaiming the office space as their natural habitat.

As visitors explored the space, their presence triggered sounds that mutated from organic (such as birds singing or crickets chirping) to mechanic (such as the sound of a printer). Each sound activated other sounds in the room, creating swells of cascading atmospheric noise.

Lighting was also a key element of this piece. The forms glowed with a luminous pigment, harkening the glow of plankton or the sheen of wet moss on trees. As visitors carefully navigated the space lighting effects are triggered.

The artist was working with businesses to collect shredded paper documents. An

informational booklet, designed for both children and adults, was being produced in

compliment to the exhibit. Children learned about where paper comes from and about

fun paper-craft activities. Adults learned about the environmental impact of the paper

industry, and about creative approaches to reducing paper consumption. The booklet featured photos of felled trees in the Carpathian Mountains.

New Bionics first showed an in-progress incarnation of the piece at the Czech

Cultural Center in Prague, March 1 through April 4, 2012. It then had its first debut at Kiev's first International Biennale, from May 24 through July 31, 2012, at the National Cultural-Art and Museum Complex. Then, from September 7 through 24, 2012 the piece was presented at the annual International event Gogolfest.

As fotos antigas.

Son máis honestas, creo. A xente posa cun candor descoñecido. Posa para o álbum, para as avoas. Para si mesmo. Non para fotolog, nin para photoshop, nin para Avedon. Posa obediente, pero non espera gran cousa desa fotografía.

A textura das fotos tampouco é perfecta, co cal todo xoga a certo ilusionismo. Os rostros defínense mal. Nas habitacións levántase unha inquietante néboa. Os bordes das imaxes aparecen mordidos. Hai manchas, rasguños, cores alteradas. Cousas que non eran así, nin estaban colocadas así, nin peiteadas así.

Parécense, na súa inexactitude, á enormemente fotosensible memoria humana.

Por exemplo, ti. O que lembro de ti non se parece en nada a ti.

A memoria é un proceso biolóxico, dixestivo, que transforma materias primas en arquivos máis ou menos pesados, máis ou menos inventados, máis ou menos definitivos a través dunha especie de fotosíntese a nivel cranial.

Na foto, meu irmán Guillermo. De neno saíu en infinidade de fotos. As mellores, aquelas que logo meu avó pegaría nas etiquetas das botellas da súa destilería. Brandy Guillermo I, por exemplo: e aparecía meu irmán cun sombreiro de vaqueiro. Ou de vikingo. O meu avó inventaba nomes para os seus alcoholes, sempre cheos de retranca.

Vodka Brooklyn. Oporto Devesos [el nacera en Devesos, aldea miniatura de Ortigueira].

Alguén da familia estivo en Burgos hai pouco e servíronlle un brandy Guillermo I co careto de meu irmán.

Uns avós destiladores de alcoholes, donos de ultramarinos, emigrantes en Cuba e estraperlistas dan para moito tema de conversa nas sobremesas das xeracións posteriores.
