Pizzurno Pixelado: entre la danza y el premapping

Abstract

In Argentina, there is a strong lack of data on audiovisual interventions in public spaces that have used dance as a core element of composition. This article aims to investigate particularly in the piece Pizzurno Pixelado by Margarita Bali, in which, through video projections and dancers, she manages to intervene in the Pizzurno Palace. This work investigates the possibilities of visualizing the dancing body through an audiovisual projection, as well as the temporal and spatial deconstructions that exist when video images and bodies exist in parallel. We are interested in the way of embodying the videographic image by translating the formal elements of dance at the moment of projection, finding new forms of movement. Likewise, establish links between the videographic image and the dancing body through the concepts of false raccord, image freezing (the search for movement in stopped time), lag or discontinuity between audio and image. Likewise, we wonder what a work based on audiovisual projections that use official architecture as a receptacle can mean, such as in this case the Pizzurno Palace and what now, at a distance, we could think of as one of the first mapping exercises in the city of Buenos Aires.
