September 23, 20hs - Wunderland 2 Festival
Diego Chamy solo performance
Diego Chamy wishes and will try to activate and intensify collective and individual desire through solidarity among the members of the audience. The event won't necessarily be music-oriented. It will seek to build up a mesh such that it will empower thought and imagination, hopefully increasing our capacity of affect the world and being affected by it -- an experiment on affective politics.

Concerning the New, lecture/performance by Diego Chamy
In relation to what is the new, new? What is its value for us? What are the conditions for the emergence of the new? Is it possible to work in order to create these conditions? When something new emerges, what are the possibilities that allow us to experience it as something different? Can the new help us shift our configuration of thought-perception? Can it set innovative relations between the others, the world and us? Or does it require our existential configuration first to expand for it to be experienced? If so, what are the grounds that could enable this expansion? Could we describe the strategies or events that resulted in the emergence of new kinds of music? And in any case, what are our aims when we create music?
But is this the right direction to find out more about the new? It feels a bit systematic, like searching for your keys when you don’t know where they are and you don’t remember where you put them. You make a list of all the places you should go check, but then many times -although not always- they are found in weird places, like a miracle. Either it’s the realization of where they were pops up into mind all of a sudden, or they themselves pop up in a place you didn’t even realize could have existed. Anyway, this is still a search. Maybe the new isn’t necessarily even a search. Or maybe not always a conscious one... Many times we feel the need for something new... Maybe even the need for something, period. Sometimes we cry-out for it even. And then there are things that show up, or things that we get attracted to that go towards that something that we needed. These things might be vague, but have something in them that helps. What is more important then, the fact of there being the new, or simply what is needed? It’s important to open up, to feel something in an affecting manner, in a manner that feels something wanted - something that is unbelievably, truly and deeply wanted. There something is happening. And it attracts you and has the potential to get you to project it in a way that radicalizes things to the point that they too are forced to move towards life.
