Consciousness Crawlers
In a world where the boundaries between nature, technology and the body have blurred, we explore our possibilities through dance. Our stage is a 360-degree space, a green screen that envelops us completely, and allows us to transcend the limits of reality.
Technology is our tool, our ally in this adventure. It expands our abilities, allows us to connect with other human beings and explore new perspectives. However, we must also recognize its limitations and its ability to control us.

Petra (Mexico, 1993) is an artist who investigates the intersection between body and virtuality, questioning and creating diverse imaginaries with moving images. Experimentation plays a fundamental role in their work, inspired by nature and observing their surroundings, they discover interesting spectra of spatiality, between the mainstream and the digital. They use different technologies such as creative programming, machine learning, 2D and 3D animation, performance, screen dance, among others. Their work has been exhibited in various places, including Free The Kitsch Festival in Greece, MIVA Festival in Ecuador, the IDOCDE.net meeting in Switzerland, London Fashion Week in London, and the NFT Festa, which is part of a Japanese metaverse. In 2019, Petra began to digitalize their work and is currently part of several projects at the crossroads of cryptography, generative art, and new media.
