The House of Tupamaras is a group of Voguing performers based in Bogota, Colombia. They are professionally trained dancers that chose to break from the norm and explore the queerness of their bodies and their everyday self-expressions to turn their art form into a political tool, questioning the double standards of Colombian society. They create impromptu happenings, choreographed dances, kiki balls, etc., and have performed on stage with renowned groups such as Pussy Riot, among others. This series of prints and videos seeks to capture the Tupamaras' attitude, athletic musculature, and spunky personalities. The series of volumetric portraits, that isolate spatially the dancers and create a baroque-like atmosphere, are captured in real time with the Kinect sensor, using custom Java code in Processing 3.0, written by the artist. Photoshop is used for color correction and sizing purposes, without any additional filters. Each individual image, captured in HD at 12 to 16 frames per second, composes longer animated still frame sequences, that are consequently edited into the experimental video component of the series, BOGUE. Seeing Voguing as a dance duel, the original music mixes the sounds of two very famous scenes of Latino soap operas, that portray exaggerated - but absurd - female fights.

Captured in real time with the Kinect volumetric sensor, and Processing 3.0,. Edited with After Effects and Premiere.

Crean happenings improvisados, bailes coreografiados, kiki balls, etc., y han actuado en el escenario con grupos de renombre como las Pussy Riot, entre otros. Esta serie de grabados y videos busca capturar la actitud, la musculatura atlética y las personalidades valientes de las Tupamaras. La serie de retratos volumétricos, que aíslan espacialmente a los bailarines y crean una atmósfera de estilo barroco, son captados en tiempo real con el sensor Kinect, usando código Java personalizado en Processing 3.0, escrito por el artista. Photoshop se utiliza con fines de corrección de color y tamaño, sin filtros adicionales. Cada imagen individual, capturada en HD de 12 a 16 cuadros por segundo, compone secuencias animadas de cuadros fijos más largas, que en consecuencia se editan en el componente de video experimental de la serie, BOGUE. Capturado en tiempo real con el sensor volumétrico Kinect, y Processing 3.0,. Editado con After Effects y Premiere.
