Dance is politics


Exploration and vindication of identities through celebration in public space

Dance is politics


Exploration and vindication of identities through celebration in public space
The project reclaims the appropriation of the public space through 'the party' and dancing as a social catalyzer during -and after- the pandemic, establishing a new paradigm in which technology, environment, and social encounter merge in a single reproducible architectural strategy.

We understand access to public space and celebration as an inalienable right of society. But, what kind of party do we expect in the post-COVID world? Countless oppressed groups have been forced to find their spaces in the absence of a welcoming 'official' leisure model, therefore self-organized celebrations served as an escape valve.

We must find a party model compatible with a delicate social and sanitary situation. Social distancing creates a void between us destined to be unused, but why not take advantage of it and fill it with nature?

We propose a system made of a physical component and a virtual one in continuous feedback. The physical part is a system of pots that move automatically to create various groupings of vegetation to limit agglomerations and ensure social distancing. The virtual one consists of a central system for analyzing and managing the data collected through sensors, which transmit real-time information to each pot on where to move in the urban space.
