Paloma Klisys articulates her creative presence in public spaces and immersive environments through technological devices, listening practices, and performative writing processes.

 

Her research examines the potential of language when it shifts from the domain of reading to that of action, activating situations in which the word manifests itself as an event—acquiring temporal thickness, spatial configuration, and a perceptual intensity that directly affects the audience’s experience.

​

Urban Typing is one of the proposals that compose the artist’s repertoire and condenses, with particular precision, several of the core lines of her investigation.

 

The term, whose etymological origin refers to the Greek dáktylos (finger) and graphía (writing, inscription), is reconfigured beyond its historical meaning as a technical practice.

 

In Klisys’s work, typing no longer names an instrumental procedure but designates a contemporary operation of performative inscription, in which language, listening, and urban space are articulated as a relational field in constant activation.

​

The work develops poetic compositions based on previously written texts, which intertwine with voices, noises, silences, and interferences captured during actions in public spaces and immersive contexts.

 

Elements arising from interaction with the audience, the soundscape, and the specific conditions of each environment are incorporated as active compositional material through precise strategies of controlled interaction and openness to unpredictability.

​

Klisys works with performative writing devices—hybrid interfaces that articulate gesture, sound, and visual inscription—conceived as zones of mediation between body, technology, and space.

 

In this context, writing abandons its function as record and asserts itself as a performative event: a field of intensities in which rhythm, texture, and reverberation operate as structures of meaning.

 

The city is transformed into a poetic and sensorial territory, and the act of writing is established as a situated form of presence, attentive to the dynamics of its surroundings.

​

Urban Typing: Performative Writing in the Urban Context proposes an expansion of poetry into the domain of collective experience, listening, and acoustic perception.

 

The work investigates how language articulates itself through contact between body, technology, and environment, constructing a field of experimentation that brings together formal rigor, critical sensitivity, and strategies of interaction, without subordinating openness to context to the loss of compositional coherence.

​

The work can be presented in different languages, adapting itself to the cultural and linguistic contexts in which it is activated.

 

This flexibility does not operate as literal translation, but as a poetic and performative displacement of language, preserving the conceptual structure of the work while activating new layers of meaning in dialogue with each territory.

 

Language thus becomes another compositional element, integrated into the dynamics of listening, presence, and relation that constitute the work.

​

With an international trajectory and sustained activity in contexts dedicated to hybrid language practices, Paloma Klisys develops a poetics marked by conceptual precision and perceptual openness.

 

Her research affirms writing as a space of listening, relation, and invention, situating her work within an active dialogue between sound, word, image, and audience, where language takes shape as a shared, situated, and continuously transforming experience.
