Tongue and Cheek: Afectógrafo — with Rocío Guerrero Marín (Audio)

Jan 29, 2023
Voiced and led by Timmy Simonds, Aaron Lehman, and Emma McCormick-Goodhart.

Afectógrafo — with Rocío Guerrero Marín Afectógrafo is an ongoing series of participatory exercises led by Rocío Guerrero Marín. An "afectógrafo" is a tool, a necklace designed to register involuntary body movements. This tool is worn by invited participants while telling their experiences of life disappointments. The necklace registers the movements and reactions of their body when activating their affective memory, translating it into a pen's movement and line. The resulting drawing is a record of their emotional experience.

Joined by Rocio Guerrero Marin, multidisciplinary artist, and co-founder of the Chilean educational television show, Oye, ¿Vamos al Taller?

In this sense, she focuses on how these relations we establish with others, human or not, affect our understanding of the world and sense of being. Her work has been shown at museums and galleries, standing out: 205 Hudson Gallery (2021), NY; Vitrinalab (2020), MI; Galería CCU (2019), Chile; Museo Arte Contemporáneo (2018), Chile; YAP-CONSTRUCTO/MOMA_PS1 (2014), Chile.
