Abstract
The desire to reach to the collective and denounce gender violence through art and technology lies at the heart of Luna morada/Black Moon. This piece is part of a larger project, Código de barras (Bar Codes) that involves poetry, technology, and collective art. The project was one of the segments in a feminist exhibition titled, The Only Bush I Trust is My Own, curated by Escaja in Burlington, VT in 2006. Luna morada/Black Moon consists of a poem in bilingual format on an image of a “black eye,” an image created by M.J. Tobal. With a barcode inserted in the retina of the image, a barcode reader provides the viewer with increasing sounds of a fragment of Dhrupad Dream, by vocal artist Fátima Miranda. Juxtaposing the reading of the poem with the experience of the increasing sound emphasizes perplexity, anxiety, and eventually the condemnation of gender violence.
