drag up
Under the title drag up, Durango proposes to develop a research experience on own identity by drag and tools 3D creation. Using our own body and contemporary digital techniques, the students will build a series of characters giving them own narratives and characteristics.
This experience is considered as a conceptual and playful drift, whose ultimate goal is the experimentación fuera of the system traditional generic sex categories. An investigation of self listening and speculative fiction where the "I" is mutable and the self-story a blank canvas. Play to be another person and imagine the possibilities of our identity in other physical-digital worlds.
