Session by the Panòptic Cultural Association for the Santa Mònica Video Tuesdays.
Gerard Ortín’s Agrilogistics analyses recent technological transformations in contemporary industrial agriculture. Tulip bulbs, chrysanthemum stems and vine tomatoes are processed by cameras, feeding data sets that regulate their own growth. During the day, the greenhouse is a cinematic device, an automated film set optimised for the mass production of fruit and flowers. At night, the factory stops: without an interior or an exterior, the greenhouse becomes a dreamlike chamber where plants, animals and machines form new intertwinings.
