Marcel·li Antunez - Transpermia 2003

A mechatronic conference presenting the Dedalus project and its micro performances at zero gravity as well as the Transpermia theory.

Marcel·li Antunez - POL 2002

A mechatronic story for five robots, a panoramic screen and two performers wearing dreskeletons (exoskeletal body interfaces)

POL is a story told by means of a mechatronic performance. It is an ironic and poetic fable for all ages, a scenic mutation resulting from the meshing of machines, images, sounds and performers.

Marcel·lí Antúnez - Epizoo 1994

Interactive mechatronic performance presented for the first time in 1994. A body robot, in the shape of a pneumatic exoskeleton, enables the spectator to control the performer's body using a mouse.

Interactive Mechatronic Performance. One performer wearing a dreskeleton (an exoskeletal body interface) narrates a myth accompanied by four musical robots, interactive sound, virtual images and video.

Biography

Marcel.lí Antúnez Roca is well-known in the international art scene for his mechanotronic performances and robotic installations. In the nineties his avantgarde mechatronic performances combined such elements as Bodybots (body-controlled robots), Systematugy (interactive narration with computers) and Dresskeleton (the exoskeleton body interface).

The themes explored in his work include: the use of biological materials in robotics, as in JoAn l’home de carn (1992); telematic control on the part of a spectator of an alien body in the performance EPIZOO (1994); the expansion of body movements with dresskeletons (exoskeletical interfaces) sed in the performances AFASIA (1998) and POL (2002); involuntary choreography with the bodybot REQUIEM (1999); and microbiological ansformations in the installations RINODIGESTIO (1987) and AGAR (1999). He is currently working on the spatial and utopian artwork TRANSPERMIA.
