Sunbeams and the Ultrascience is a site-specific installation that covers a diverse set of themes around science fiction, auto-fiction, and speculative visions of the future. As a way of obtaining more concise answers about the relationship between dreams, technology and nature, the artist and writer D’Andrade presents a new installation work that dialogues with the performativities of knowledge and possible political landscapes for an ultra-capitalist world.

Focusing on migration and its tentacularly expanding economic forms, the site-specific work starts from the premise that a world in constant information traffic, the artificialization of natural resources and the virtualization of human exchanges create a new form of dreamlike perception of reality. Dreaming has become both an economic and a political tool in a world where neurocognitive technologies amplify the human-machine tension.

The last part of the site-specific installation of entitled Ultra-Reading will be performed at diffrakt, in collaboration with the artists Gadutra and Kaloan – a range of sounds related to art, activism, and self-learning practices based on radical readings of nature and technology, creating an atmosphere of soundscape and poetry.
