LOG IN TO YOUR LIFE
An Immersive Sci-Fi Tale
by Motia & Nait Saves

LOGI IN TO YOUR LIFE is an immersive sci-fi tale that reflects on our current techno-fictional world where the boundaries between human and technology are completely blurred. This artwork questions our context in which digital technologies not only transform our identities, but also shape our perception of our body and emotions. In this universe, the character must log in to life itself: process their dreams, set their body, program their thoughts and emotions, and receive instructions to navigate everyday life. An omnipresent artificial intelligence guides every decision, from classifying unconscious desires to configuring new sensory experiences.

----------------------------

THIS IS A SCHEDULED IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION
The experience runs every 30 minutes,
starting at 12PM, with the last screening at 4PM.

AUGUST 16 @ 3PM will be the last screening, followed by a Q & A with the artists.


-----------------------------

MOTIA is an argentinian duo of multidisciplinary artists who create immersive mixed realities. Researching and experimenting through digital art, they merge physical and virtual spaces using various devices, from a narrative, technopoetic and conceptual perspective. Their constant drive is the desire to create experiences that inspire deep sensory stimulation, inviting the audience to experiment, engage and connect emotionally and viscerally.

Their creation process is based on research to design unconventional scenic spaces, the audio-visual composition of a reality-fiction, and the interactivity with those who experience their artworks. Motia combine different software and hardware tools to create 3D/2D ecosystems, merging languages ​​of audiovisual art and lighting-spatial art for the construction of sets, performative murals and immersive installations with their own language. This approach evokes landscapes of digital surrealist aesthetics, driving the irrational and dreamlike through arbitrary connections on existence itself.

Their approach is based on constant experimentation to generate an emotional connection in shared spaces. They believe that experiencing artistic-technological experiences allows people to build new languages ​​for both individual and collective development. Their digital works have participated in numerous multidisciplinary projects.

NAIT SAVES is an argentinian composer, soundscapist and immersive audio designer. She explores and fuses genres such as organic ambient, experimental electronica and minimalist neoclassical. She approaches her work in a cinematic way, telling stories through sound, text and image. In her creative process she combines intuitive improvisation, field recording and the use of foley and orchestral instruments. Thus creating a hybrid and hypnotic sound art inspired by fantasy, eco-futurism and metamorphosis; and influenced by artists such as Oneohtrix Point Never, Ryuichi Sakamoto and God is an Astronaut.

As a transgender woman and member of the Amplify D.A.I. network, Nait Saves advocates for female and LGBTIQ+ empowerment through her work and cultural management. She performed live at Artlab, CCEBA and Andreani Foundation. She wrote soundtracks for the short film Distancia, the series Postres and the film The Beautiful Fantasy of the Final Purpose. Currently focused on sound for A/V installations, she collaborated and exhibited with CLON (UK) at MUTEK AR and with SeirenFilms (AR) at Centro Cultural Kirchner. Her most recent work, Sacred War, is an AI-animated epic fantasy sonic tale inspired by a dream-vision.
