The Bug's Permission Slip: Insect Dreams at 30fps

In this lecture performance, Albert Garcia revisits past works and speculative shifts—from arcade-dance hybrids to insect-led research, from moths in card decks to fireflies flickering on screen. Moving between video, live reconstruction, and memory, he explores how the body is shaped by what captures it: light, lenses, movement, history. Speaking from a space between documentation and dreaming, Albert treats movement as both choreography and survival—of the bug, the migrant, the mediated subject. Images overexpose or vanish; performance mimics nature, yet resists being naturalized. A meditation on ecologies, identity, visibility, and the persistent, strange feeling that maybe, he was once a grasshopper.
