Bienal de Venecia

It is a circuit in which we identify six kinds of intelligence that shape human action across its evolution: individual, collective, natural, artificial, emotional and rational. Each of these acts on its own, but they interact with one another in many ways. From the interaction between two intelligences a tension arises — a chaos — made visible through the expressiveness, with no apparent logic, of the structures that hold them up.

, an interconnection, a relationship between parts, a structure that — through chaos — sets out to

) the intelligences in question, providing the content of the exhibition as its support. The pavilion is walked through by threading together the six intelligences, which produce five intersections; these five focal points are what finally display, support and light the work as a whole.

The five walkable supports, built from scaffolding and joints, are laid out in space in an apparently random way, set against a central path — calm and linear — that offers the visitor the chance to stop, sit beneath the cloud of supposed intelligences and recover the capacity for contemplation.

The content is arranged under a curatorial criterion across the five intersections, in chronological order. The criterion defining each intersection displays a selection of works with a direct, integral relationship to what is shown, following a timeline that begins with individual intelligence and ends with artificial intelligence.

The pavilion is raised from the combination and arrangement of tubular pieces and joints that form scaffolding, those structures standing for the human capacity to evolve through intelligence, with solid timber planks framing the audiovisual content. The scaffolding also holds and lifts the six hanging volumes that levitate in the space, creating the circuit of the proposal. The light volumes crowning the structures are built from white, ethereal canvases made by recovering discarded plastic burlap sacks.
