Where do dissipate all the vibrations emitted by our bodies?
Where does it take us the trance of continuous repetition?
Maybe that infinite spiral will lead to the Green Nebula.
Upon entering the NFT ecosystem, I wanted to give a more experimental twist to the work I had been doing with some visual ethnography records that I made between 2011 and 2016, mainly in central and western Venezuela.
I wanted to give the documentary record a different treatment, this time doing the opposite game, deterritorializing an instant to take
it from its context to a fictitious and cosmic one, to highlight its human sensitivity.
Not to melt cultural tradition into a dissonant foreign language, but to draw attention to that communion, but this time from another perspective, which transcends the local to seek to connect with the sensitivity that we all have as humans.
Our terrestrial and supraterrestrial experiences are constantly superimposed on this thing we call existence, and we continually try to make sense of it through the symbols that we create and that constantly weave bridges between our material and spiritual worlds.
The Green Nebula Drums is inspired by the drums of the Fiesta de San Pedro in Naiguatá and its impressive collective discharge, the final part of the festive cycle preceded by the Fiesta de San Juan where that same battery of drums are the protagonists.
The images are part of the work in progress using the Rotoscopy technique in After Effects and finishing the manipulation and texturing of key frames in Photoshop and Illustrator to create an animation in GIF format,
There are still a few editions available on the Objkt marketplace on the Tezos Blockchain.

Al entrar al ecosistema NFT, quise dar un giro más experimental al trabajo que venía realizando con algunos registros de etnografía visual que hice entre los años 2011 y 2016, principalmente en el centro y occidente de Venezuela.
Quise darle un tratamiento diferente al registro documental, esta vez haciendo el juego inverso, desterritorializando un instante para llevarlo de su contexto a uno ficticio y cósmico, para poner en relieve su sentido humano.
No para fundir tradicional cultural en un disonante lenguaje ajeno, si no para llamar la atención sobre esa comunión pero esta vez desde otra mirada, que trasciende lo local para buscar conectar con la sensibilidad que tenemos todos como humanos.
Nuestras experiencias terrenales y supraterrenales son superpuestas constantemente en esto que llamamos existencia, y continuamente tratamos de darle sentido a través de los símbolos que vamos creando y que constantemente tejen puentes entre nuestro mundo material y el espiritual.
The Green Nebula Drums está inspirada en los tambores de la Fiesta de San Pedro en Naiguatá y su impresionante descarga colectiva, parte final del ciclo festivo precedido por la Fiesta de San Juan donde esa misma batería de tambores son protagónicas.
Las imágenes son parte del work in progress usando la técnica de Rotoscopia en After Effects y terminando de hacer la manipulación y texturizado de fotogramas claves en Photoshop e Illustrator para crear una animación en formato GIF. Aún quedan algunas ediciones disponibles en el marketplace Objkt en la Blockchain Tezos.
