ESCaperucita & Little Flying Hood, consisting of 26 prints on aluminum Dibond, is a bilingual text-based work depicting the characters’ journey through an area of turbulence in the form of textual noise somewhere in the Caribbean. What begins with a coded signal, factual data and a lovers’ dialogue, evolves into a stream of consciousness rambling. The work explores the creative potential inherent in code-switching, Spanglish and textspeak as hybrid forms of communication that are able to intermix and transcend geographic and psychological spaces as well as digital and analog modes.

ESCaperucita & Little Flying Hood consiste de 26 paneles de texto impreso sobre aluminio. La obra describe el viaje aéreo de sus personajes por el caribe a través de un área de turbulencia en forma de ruido textual. Lo que comienza como una señal codificada, datos fácticos y un diálogo entre amantes, evoluciona en un desborde de información dislocada. La obra explora el potencial creativo de la alternancia de código, el spanglish y el textspeak como formas híbridas de comunicación, capaces de intermediar y trascender espacios geográficos y sicológicos así como modos digitales y análogos. |
