An epizootic is an "organism that lives on an animal without being parasitic (cited dictionary De Mauro, Pearson). epizootic is also the name of an exoskeleton worn by the English Marcel.lì Antunez Roca in a performance of 1994. It consists of a series of mechatronic devices placed on areas considered "erogenous" (the mouth, ears, nose, chest, and buttocks), controlled remotely via a graphical interface. Roca takes the stage and the audience is given the opportunity to decide which mechanism operated simply with the touch of a mouse.
The work could be viewed as a sadistic erotic game enriched with an unusual approach, but there is something more. The power in the hands of spectators, is aseptic, cold similar reasons, you move a cursor, but in truth it sets in motion an instrument of pleasure and torture. In what one can see an interesting paradigm of Western reality today, in which the relationship between cause and effect, because of the distances between interacting individuals apparently, is so indirect and convoluted (nonlinear) to become undetectable.
In the globalized world of our surroundings there is much lower (local) with respect to the reasons and consequences of our life (global): wear shoes manufactured in Taiwan, encouraging the exploitation of workers without union protections, we declare ourselves in favor of a war thousands of miles away, ignoring what it means to sleep lulled by the bombs and express our opinions on public forums, exposing maieutic comparisons more or less for the people. To think of it, is not something new: they are instead modes. Step onto the pitch 's artifice, the construct of technology, which increases the scope of our actions and at the same time makes them less explicit As you move away from the source.
