NeuroXcape Hybrid E-Rave 666: The Shadowbanner

In the context of the exhibition Metaverses: Realities in Transition, Matadero Madrid and L.E.V. (Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual) present NeuroXcape Hybrid E-Rave 666: The Shadowbanner, a hybrid e-rave where the virtual and the physical intertwine.

NeuroXcape is built through a series of e-raves, hybrid actions and online exhibitions in metaverses, virtual reality platforms and streaming platforms (Club Cooee, IMVU, Twitch), where attendees can interact and be part of the experience through 3D avatars juxtaposed with the physical space (meatspace).

Organised by NeuroDungeon, the hybrid e-rave NeuroXcape with the continuous folding of perspectives and POVs between Neurodungeon’s virtual room in the Club Cooee app, where there will be DJ sets by artists from different geolocations (New York, Shanghai, Warsaw and Murcia), the physical space of the Nave 0 in Matadero Madrid, where performers will play live, the streaming of it all on Twitch and the domestic places the telematic attendees inhabit.

NeuroDungeon is an electronic music and art collective formed by Bartolomé, Kaverna and YESSi PERSE. A conceptual umbrella that encompasses a speculative art movement, a fictional music genre, a potential urban tribe, an interdimensional club and a fantastic science fiction corporation. It is a representation of the emotional state of the cognitariat, the cognitive proletariat, which emphasises the physical, neurological and psychological aspects of workers involved in the networked, post-industrial, immaterial production economy. The mental dungeon whose gatekeepers are vectorialist production systems, precariousness, and cyber-feudalism.
