THE ARCTIC CIRCLE ARTIST AND SCIENTIFIC RESIDENCY PROGRAM GRANT
An unknown force pushes a man to embark on an expedition to the high Arctic, a place of extraordinary characteristics. In his quest of "measuring the North", a peculiar set of measurement tools will try to help him understand that force. In its limits, is where he may find the answer. Between an introspective adventure and the poetry of the absurd.
The project takes place in the high Arctic, while immersed in the expedition program known as The Arctic Circle; a nexus where art intersects science and activism aboard a specially outfitted Tall Ship, sailing just ten degrees off the North Pole.
.
Useless Opera Singers (algo así como Inútiles Cantantes de Opera) es un mediometraje que deambula por la idea del Norte, sus límites y la construcción del paisaje a través de la medición.
Una fuerza desconocida empuja a un hombre a embarcar en una expedición al Ártico alto, un lugar de características extraordinarias. En su idea de “medir el Norte”, un peculiar conjunto de herramientas de medición intentarán ayudarle a entender esa fuerza. En los límites, quizá encuentre la respuesta. Entre la aventura introspectiva y la poética absurda.
El proyecto tiene lugar en el Ártico alto, durante el programa de expediciones conocido como The Arctic Circle; un nexo donde el arte se cruza con la ciencia y el activismo a bordo de una embarcación de vela especialmente equipada, navegando tan solo diez grados del Polo Norte.
