The ERG ADENTRO project arises from a conversation held over many years between two people who do not know each other physically and inhabit opposite territories: the Andean savannah in Colombia and the erg Chebbi in Morocco. It is based on the question: can information take shape? Based on the digital archive, the work proposes a translation process that consists of extracting, displacing and transforming a flow of data into sensitive matter.

What is a chat? Is it information? Is it something tangible or intangible? Is it data, is it language? In the category of the quantifiable, chat is a set of data composed of a certain number of megabytes of text, images, videos and voice notes. In the metaphorical dimension, chat is a bridge that is voluntarily crossed and a window from which to explore the landscapes where the life of the other takes place; in electronic terms it is a flow of bits that travels at unimaginable speeds through fiber optic cable making communication possible through mobile phones and data plans; and, from a philosophical epistemological perspective, chat is something deeper: it is a form of knowledge.

A conversational one sustained over time takes shape, densifies, seems to emerge from the other side of the mirror to take shape, to the point where the statement of M. Vopson (2021) who suggests (from physics) that together with solids, liquids, gaseous and plasma, information is the fifth state of matter, makes sense.
