The Double Collective

The Double // collective is an ongoing project on process-based collective work, idealized by three multimedia artists – Clarissa Ribeiro, Renata La Rocca e Graziele Lautenschlaeger -, associating their individual artistic views and references, purposes and research interests, mixing experiences and contexts. The name of the collective is a reference to the Borges considerations on the concept of 'The Double' in the tale of The Book of Imaginary Beings (1967). The intention is to use the double as a concept that describes the generative process of creation - the understanding of the collective itself as a systemic structure, a complex adaptive system where several elements (artist and audience, objects/technology...)are dynamically interconnected, articulated in a self-organized process where the objective of creating artistic experiences/structures, works as an attractor being the goal of the entire system.
