Using as a base theoretical analysis and artistic projects about terrorism we intend to promote a discussion focused on the concept of body created by the kind of terrorism that produced 9/11: THE BODY-BOMB.###
“The body-bomb is always stripped of the visual signs associated with war, a fact that differentiates it from a bomb. The absence of identifiable traces makes of it a bomb with a permanent unlocked trigger – a situation that also distinguishes it from the object commonly referred to as bomb. The body-bomb can explode in any place, at any moment, and consequently doesn’t fit in the antiquated conception of battleground where the enemies are conventionally identified. Its battles take place in the quotidian of the civil and military territories without uniforms designating the parts in litigation.”

The bodymedia doesn’t have an interface: the example of the body-bomb)#
With this study we are searching for the understanding and identification of structural procedures that generate the body-bomb (specially its invisibility) using them as a reflection regarding the poetic production of actions capable of destabilizing the physical, artistic and political patterns, in and outside the performance sphere.
The purpose of this project is to promote an atmosphere of research where the flux of information incites the body to materialize its ideas into esthetic actions. But will this operation bring visibility to the proposals?
