Textperimento(s)

2015, "Textperimento(s)", a collaborative project between artists Camila Fernandez and Renato Osoy. An innovative venture that reimagines the realm of text as a playground for creativity and experimentation. In "Textperimento(s)", text transcends its conventional literary boundaries, evolving into a multifaceted entity that embodies ideas, sensations, voice, play, image, and thought. This project is a celebration of the transformative power of text, encouraging innovative attitudes in individuals and their environments.

Our approach to text was holistic, encompassing both writing and reading while venturing into uncharted territories where text becomes a representation of more abstract concepts. The project is structured around a series of experimental sessions or laboratories, designed as spaces for exploration and experimentation. These labs activated demonstration-action, observation, thought, and the practice of 'making by doing' as means to amplify creativity, knowledge, and techniques in using text as a communication system.

Camila Fernández, with her background in Language and Social Sciences from UFM and as a member of the School of Psychoanalysis of Guatemala, brought her unique perspective of poetic creation through text as a phenomenological event. Renato Osoy, a visual artist, teacher, and researcher with degrees from the Royal Academy of Antwerp and the University of Amsterdam, delved into the epistemic possibilities of text through conceptual playfulness. "Textperimento(s)" was a confluence of their ideas, forms, and sensibilities, offering a new lens through which to conceptualize and materialize text into image, and image into text. https://www.textperimentos.com/laboratorio
