Faceless
This work arises from the desire to experiment with the potential of creative expression through dance and technology. To develop it, we carried out a series of physical movement laboratories, telematic ones, software editing and transmedia experimentation during 2019, a time of uncertainty, psychological agitation caused by temporary closures, unemployment, social isolation and disorder. With this project, we hope that our reflections on anxiety and depression will be recognized and transformed into something that we can share with others. Rather than trying to get rid of this, we consider them opportunities to reevaluate and rebuild our understanding of reality.

Mexican artist who studied stage arts at the University of Guadalajara from 2011 to 2015. He has a wide range of artistic experience and has been involved in numerous projects, including founding KineticAI, being a member of PaisanoDAO and 8ADN Cuerpos en Acción Dance Company in Mexico, performing with Baal Dance Company (Spain) and Fsartdance Entertainment Company in China, and working as a stage artist for INBAL, SHCP, and UNAM in Mexico. Additionally, he has performed with the Imagina Entertainment Company in Guatemala and El Salvador, and his work has been presented at various dance festivals and exhibitions in Japan, Canada, US, Brazil, and other countries. Betancourt is interested in exploring the intersection of art and technology, and has focused on creating experimental artworks using AI, creative code, video art, telematic performance, and screen dance, among other media. He is also interested in studying the body in motion and has explored using blockchain and other technologies to share his work.
Our work is based on interdisciplinary collaborations. We believe in the arts as a single entity and as a means of dialogue between various creative individuals. We seek merging of the physical and virtual universes from an emotional and sensitive sense of our body & mind.
