on/scenity is a celebration of synthetic desires, a provocative ceremony that interweaves sex, technology, magic and biology to explore the depths of occult pleasures.
on/scenity is an erotic exploration of bodily fluids, where cybernetic witches become pleasure ceremonialists, perform biopolitical incantations, and challenge social norms by connecting sensors, digital bodies, and interactive holy waters. Together, performers and the audience cast spellings, embodying the ‘puta’ and the witch as symbols of liberation and defiance.
The performative element is a wearable biodesign, equipped with sensors that analyse body fluids in real time, measuring conductivity and pH levels. These real-time data interactions trigger vocal distortions and transformations, generating digital messages about pleasures, techno orgies, do-it-yourself gynaecological experiments and the sacredness of fluids, reclaiming desire as a force for resistance and transformation.
Combining ritual and technology, on/scenity digitally connects human bodies, bringing on scene what science has censured and forbidden and claiming autonomy, agency and sexuality.
Invoked by the filthiest nightmares we are the witches of obscenity and desire.
There is no revolt without the power of an orgasmic fluid, Blood, semen, saliva, thick liquid dripping from the thighs with noise frequencies like in a dystopian trip where you will end up between our teeth.
Artificial wombs, synthetic love, virtual menstruation, microchips to distort every sense, we want to fuck between sisters, be dominated, succumb to your pleas.
We. want. Sacrifices.
N.B. Bodily fluid offerings are required to participate in the ritual. Anyone who does not bring their offerings to the witches will be punished with insults and curses.
Alma de Bruixes is a nomadic collective of biohackers witches who see little difference between a speculum and a sex toy. They weave together like a spell, biomaterials, DIY biology, gynaecology and lubricants for the pleasure of self-exploration.
Born from the union of ALMA Futura, which studies and develops tools for radical change in vaginal and gender health, and Bruixes-Lab, a nomadic laboratory of biohacking, sextech and witchcraft rituals. Founded by Cristina Dezi, Isabel Farina and Giulia Tomasello.
The collective is investigating the rebellious act of re-imagining science, alchemy and gynecology as alternative forms of care, knowledge and pleasure. How can we re-frame pleasure through spells and rituals and free our eroticism from the violence of racist and misogynist medical claims?
The starting point is the violence from which gynaecology was born but the ending one is pleasure as anti-colonial, anti-patriarchal and anti-capitalist. The collective has been collaborating so far with Arse Elektronika, Mu Hybrid Art House, Witches are Back, Bellakeo and Abbramà Festival.
