BROMO. "CRISPR THE PATTERN OF LIFE" (WORLD PREMIERE) 0:56
L.E.V. Festival presents the premiere of Bromo‘s latest work, CRISPR the pattern of life, an approach and reflection about one of the most exciting breakthroughs in the history of biotechnology: CRISPR DNA-editing systems. This musical and visual journey of the duo formed by Paloma Peñarrubia and Azael Ferre, full of meanings and messages, impossible landscapes, generative images and reinterpreted environments, will dive and guide the spectator into the universe of synthetic biology and the philosophy of evolution. Hard-hitting sounds with exciting and abstract passages, an amalgam of organic textures and sound concepts, to dance and thrill the listener in equal parts.
MARTIN MESSIER. "1 DROP 1000 YEARS" 10:31
Canadian artist Martin Messier, a recurring act in L.E.V. throughout all these years, will showcase his new project 1 drop 1000 years, based on a vital process for balance in life: homeostasis, a phenomenon which allows an organism to keep the right temperature, applied in this case to ocean currents. Seeking to highlight the finesse of our homeostatic system and the fragility of its balance, the artist proposes an artistic interpretation of these intimate and global currents that happen to be essential to the survival of our species and its environment, and which have been slowed down during the last 200 years due to human activity.

RICCARDO GIOVINETTO "F E M I N A" 17:15
Tras su memorable paso por la última edición de L.E.V. Matadero en Madrid, el artista visual y multimedia, físico y profesor universitario italiano, Riccardo Giovinetto, llega a L.E.V. Festival en Gijón con una versión extendida de su performance audiovisual F E M I N A. Este proyecto explora la idea de la virtud y la mirada que la define durante el Renacimiento a través del viaje imaginario de una inteligencia artificial. En ella, ecos de madrigales polifónicos se superponen a la composición de la música electrónica original, mientras muestras de pinturas renacentistas se transforman en un flujo de imágenes que muta constantemente, interactuando con el sonido.
