Modelling the air is a research project that addresses the implications of planned wind farms in the Central Highlands area. It seeks to understand the different desires, fears, threats, interests and temporalities surrounding these projects for human inhabitants, non-human communities, materials and other stakeholders.
As a final point of the research residency, a speculative dynamic is proposed around a model of the territory that brings together the different voices encountered throughout the residency. In it, we will address the past, present and future of the territory, embodying plant and animal species, infrastructures, energy companies and activists, among many other agents. Different timelines will be explored, from the historical ones that have defined the extractive condition of the territory to lines that guide us towards possible futures. From conversations, discussions, projects and their repercussions, we will try to understand all the edges of a complex problem, in order to test desirable energy futures that emanate from spatial justice and a homogeneous recognition of all the agents of the Central Mountains.
The dynamic, in the form of a role-play, requires the active participation of the participants through actions and spoken interventions. No prior knowledge of the subject is required. Modelling the air is the winning project of the second call (2022) for internships. KNOT/KNOT, jointly promoted by the Cerezales Antonino y Cinia Foundation and the Diputación de León.
