Three South American countries share a similar culture: Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina. The border region between them, called the Pampas, follows common traditions that exist outside of the region’s language and territory lines. A Uruguayan-born audiovisual artist living in Brazil, Fernando Velázquez, hit the road with musician Francisco Lapetina to record the impressions and feelings found between Rivera (Uruguay) and Santana do Livramento (Brazil) – an experience that resulted in the audiovisual performance Accident.The performance was showcased this year during the On_Off festival, organized by Itaú Cultural. There, Velázquez also exhibited his Mindscapes series, which we wrote about here. That work, investigating what's behind the biochemical phenomena that takes place in the human brain, was presented last weekend at the Cultura Digital.Br festival.A lot less cerebral, Accident turns our attentions outwards for an intimate “mapping” experience divided into seven movements or acts. It starts with electronic beats followed by images of fluid lines that emerge into an ever more complex, frenetic tangle. In act "Raíz" ("Root") we see what looks like the representation of multicolored sound waves, the kinds we might see on classic music players. The rhythm is the Brazilian coco, a characteristic music genre from the border between the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco.The next act, "Accident," is backed by jungle/drum'n'bass and filled with sentences that show up like flashes, such as "fabelado também tem iutubi" ("slum dwellers also got YouTube"). The Latin-electro soundtrack of "Território" ("Territory") matches the computerized topography of made-up landscapes, a prelude to "Milonga Ma Non Tropo" ("Milonga, But Not So Much"), the first act with real images of landscapes and roads, which also includes a small testimonial. The next act, "Tocate Una" ("Play A Song"), merges all the previous movements, mixing images that change in the blink of an eye. Act "Jucá Valley" closes the performance with photos of daily life.
