Punto y Raya Festival explores the ultimate synthesis of the form·movement duality in different spheres of human endeavour. Due to the simplicity of its criteria, it uses abstraction's prime matter to reveal the limitations and achievements of our representation systems.

Seeking to gain intuition of spacetime

Spacetime

In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. Spacetime is usually interpreted with space as being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension that is of a different sort from the spatial dimensions...

 in dimensions beyond the perceptible spectrum, the festival offers different editions adding one new dimension

Dimension

In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it. Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it...

version 0·2 | back to basics!

This first "version" of the festival features exclusively dot·lines as ends in themselves. No figuration, no perspective, just dot·lines moving on a plane.

version 0·2b | with an identity crisis

In this second version we welcome all those dots and lines of a schizoid nature. That is, who suffer from an identity crisis and wish to belong to another dimension.

A delightful journey through fractal

Fractal

A fractal has been defined as "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity...

 dimensions inhabited by forms and movements that try to resignify the euclidean categories in a mathematical or poetical way.

version 0·3 | in space

This version explores depth using several projection

3D projection

3D projection is any method of mapping three-dimensional points to a two-dimensional plane. As most current methods for displaying graphical data are based on planar two-dimensional media, the use of this type of projection is widespread, especially in computer graphics, engineering and drafting.-...

 systems and the notion of perspective

Perspective (graphical)

Perspective in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface , of an image as it is seen by the eye...

 in 3d space.

version 0·4 | in space·time

This version explores different ways to conceive and represent the fourth dimension

Spacetime

In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. Spacetime is usually interpreted with space as being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension that is of a different sort from the spatial dimensions...

• In relativistic terms the persistence of an object’s movement through Time
  Time
  Time is a part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change such as the motions of objects....

• Films where the "camera" goes right through solid matter to perceive the enclosed interior also represent reality as seen through eyes from the fourth dimension.
