At the height of the Art Deco movement, Miami’s architecture was widely recognized for its technological innovations - these structures generated an international sense of excitement and optimistic futurism. To this day, Miami still has one of the highest concentrations of Art Deco in the world. 

​

D3C05 envisions Miami Art Deco architecture in a post-human latinx world. Re-interpreting a future where power structures have shifted and latinx is the dominant cultural paradigm. Latin dialects, slang, historical references and digital stutter combine into a speculative digital language of the future. The film takes the idea of optimistic futurism and reimagines the concept within a digital space, where the boundaries between human, nature, and object coalesce; a world where synesthetic communication and performative rituals reign.​

Thematic to Liony Garcia’s project Corporeal Decorum, D3C05 takes on the investigation of methods that unite the body with architecture details. The project's initial concept stemmed from the choreographer's research residency at the Wolfsonian. Where he was introduced to the pochoir compositions of Maurice Pillard-Vernuil through their exhibition: Deco Designs. The designer’s vibrant and complex patterns embraced modern technologies, ancient civilizations, and artistic movements of the period. All of which were entry points to conceptualizing D3C05 with artist Blaze Gonzalez.
