A project in collaboration with Ricardo O'Nascimento.

" Be Loved " is a transdisciplinary project created by Iria do Castelo & Ricardo O'Nascimento supported by MAC Contemporary Art Museum of A Coruña (Spain).

It is possible in collaboration with Niffo Galerie Rotterdam.

Ricardo O´Nascimento: is a new media artist from Brazil. He research into body- environment relations through interactive projects and hybrid outlook.

Iria do Castelo: I am spanish artist, my work includes sculpture, installation and illustration projects. Surreal artworks that ranges from irresistible to terrible, from hallucination to tale.

" Be Loved " is a project that seeks the boundaries of love, the borders of attraction in bodies. Love as a way to be more free being tied by someone.

The piece is composed of two twin weareable pieces that interact with each other. The braids conect the twins turning it into an active audio performance that shows a complex mix of anxiety and relax feelings.

On 31 october 2015 while South Explorer, a cultural event in Rotterdam, we featured this collaborative piece titled "Be Loved". It was performed by us using new media interactive processes and elements of our personal discourse.

Breve tratado sobre el Erotismo según Bataille.

Iria do Castelo.

Escultura, assemblage, software y videoproyección. 2015.

Con la colaboración de Salvador Gutierrez de la Concha.

Se trata de una pieza creada para la exposición Excusa Argumental comisariada por Ignacio García en MAC (Museo de Arte Contempor��neo Gas Natural Fenosa de A Coruña).

23 de Enero - 15 de Marzo 2015.

G. Bataille relaciona el erotismo con la prohibición, la transgresión y el sentimiento de muerte. Mística, sensualidad, santidad y sacrificio.

El ser humano construye un mundo alejado de la animalidad, es decir, racional, planificado, ordenado, previsible, que le aporta seguridad, pero por momentos, ansía la animalidad, la intensidad del apetito animal, en la que encuentra una imagen de libertad. Sin embargo, la libertad que el humano persigue no puede ser ya la vuelta al mundo del apetito del animal, puesto que en él ha aparecido la conciencia (y, en particular, la conciencia de la muerte), que reparte las posibilidades de la vida entre lo permitido y lo prohibido. Este conocimiento es irrenunciable e irrevocable.

Breve tratado sobre el Erotismo según Bataille.

Iria do Castelo.

Sculpture, assemblage, software and video. 2015.

In collaboration with Salvador Gutierrez de la Concha.

This piece was created to Excusa Argumental exhibition at MAC (Contemporary Art Museum Gas Natural Fenosa A Coruña) curated by Ignacio García. 23 January - 15 March.

G. Bataille relates eroticism to the prohibition, transgression and the feeling of death. Mystic, sensuality, holiness and sacrifice.

Man builds a, planned, orderly, predictable world, away from the animal world, that adds security, but at times craves animality, the intensity of animal appetite, which is an image of freedom. However, the freedom that man pursues may no longer be around the appetite of the animal, since it has appeared consciousness (and in particular, the awareness of death), which distributes the possibilities of life between what is permitted and what is forbidden. This knowledge is inalienable and irrevocable.

Olimpia & Vivian Heimlich is an interactive sculpture that responds to the proximity of the public with feelings. She starts to breathe when someone gets near and gets excited when they get even closer. An automaton with two motion sensors that works with arduino tecnology. The electronic and mecanical system was designed in collaboration with Salvador Gutierrez de la Concha. The title is based on Sinister on Psichoanalysis Essay by Sigmud Freud (1919).
