Brujos Urbanos : Sobre conexiones humanas, espiritualidad y física cuántica. (Spanish)
Abstract [en]

During the isolation in Mexico due to the pandemic, two groups of people fought their own ideals to prevent the disease: those who believed in scientific research, and those who followed shamans wisdom, the indigenous witches. Contrary to what people might believe, there are still a lot of beliefs in ancestry medicine in urban areas. During 2020 I have filmed clips of beliefs and traditions in different parts of Chihuahua, Mexico. I continued the research in Sweden and displayed the process at Tales Festival with sounds, objects and the film in VR. The name of the project: URBAN WITCHES, my artistic research: human connection.

If you look a little bit into quantum physics, you will end up going back to what native indigenous believe in for generations: that we are connected (law of entanglement), that we get what we ask for (law of attraction), and that we are able to be in different places at the same time (tunneling law). These are not only physical laws, but ancestral knowledge that keeps our soul connected to every life form. If keeping our soul healthy is to be connected to our community the same way food and habits keep our mind and body healthy, then we need to be aware of our tendency to live in solitude, especially in big urban areas.

 I aim to continue the research on ancestral connectivity from a scientific point of view.

Abstract [es]

Durante el aislamiento de la pandemia, dos grupos de personas defendieron diferentes posturas para prevenir la enfermedad: los de ciencia y los que siguen el chamanismo de los nativos indigenas, del cual mucha gente del area urbana aun practica. Durante el 2020 filmé un poco de sus creencias y tradiciones en el Estado de Chihuahua. Continué la investigación en Suecia y mostré el proceso con una instalación de arte la pelicula en VR, sonidos y objetos en el Festival de Tales. El nombre del proyecto: URBAN WITCHES; mi investigación artistica: la conexión humana.

Si investigas un poco sobre la física cuántica, encontrarás similitudes con las creencias que los nativos indígenas han usado durante generaciones: que estamos conectados (Ley de entrelazamiento), que obtenemos lo que pedimos (Ley de la atracción) y que podemos estar en diferentes lugares al mismo tiempo (Ley de túneles).  No sólo son leyes físicas, sino conocimiento ancestral que mantiene el alma unida de todas las formas de vida. Si mantener nuestra alma saludable es estar conectado a una comunidad de la misma forma que la comida y los buenos hábitos mantienen nuestro cuerpo y mente saludable, entonces debemos estar atentos a nuestra tendencia a aislarnos, especialmente en grandes áreas urbanas. 

Mi objetivo es continuar investigando la conectividad ancestral desde el punto de vista científico.
