·          Identity as individual. The personal territory: individual graphic expression.
·          The collective identity: national territory; music as a collective identity: shared graphic expression.
·          Body’s territory as unity of bodies: music as the motive for gestural graphic expression
·          Sharing mutual graphic expression

Is in that intersection of communities that just meet in, exploring the relationship inside-outside, the affairs and nationalities, where I’m proposing to this heterogeneous group a circular journey, on board bus #46. A room with a view, a moving place, where we can work with the territory, on the basis of experiencing it.

Practical reflection on the technologies experienced as a prosthetic extension of the body itself. We will create hybrid systems based on the body augmented by the mediation of the technologies. We will use electrography, digital and direct printing and other devices "invented" to materialize the ideas.
13:00 – 14:30: Lunch-time.
14:30 – 19:00: Learning Activity 4: “FORENSIC DRAWING”, with Francisco Torrego and Ricardo Horcajada.
Our body keeps a biography of which we are sometimes unaware. Our body keeps signs of our life that we don´t know. The theoretical-practical class that Prof. Torrego and Horcajada develop together has as object to bring us closer to those unknown evidences that are hidden in our body. The class will have a theoretical part linked to literary developments given by Prof. Torrego in the anatomy classroom and a practical part given by Prof. Horcajada in the dissection centre of the UCM.
Part 1: 14:30-16:30 in the Anatomy Classroom at Fine Arts Faculty, UCM with F. Torrego.
