Instalación Interactiva, 2019
The communication skeleton and its various devices are intended to some kind of response.
Where do those words that wish not to be heard go?
We live sunk at the bottom of an ocean of air that generates pressure on our bodies. Whoever wants to speak must have the opportunity to speak in a place with less pressure than atmospheric pressure, where the transmission of words in the air does not take place. It is necessary to take the pressure out of what surrounds us. By generating a vacuum, we can generate a decrease of the barometric pressure and thus reduce the real pressure we are talking about.
This is why we feel the urgency to destroy the skeleton of communication. To eliminate the idea of sender-medium-receiver. By speaking into the void, we give way to the communication of what we understand as real and which, precisely in the world we live in, is destined to fail.
Designed and produced by Clara Travieso, German Oriana, Abril Portillo, Octavio Castiñeira and Pedro Falco.
'EXPULSO' is an interactive installation that consists of a 4mts x 1.20mts x 2.40mts sheet metal room which invites the user to enter to expel. Once inside, the user goes through an airtight curtain and enters the sector where the pressure was decreased. "What generates pressure for you?" asks the room and the user must answer through a microphone hanging from the ceiling. While the sound of the words is canceled by the vacuum, the voice transmitted by the microphone causes a generative digital creature modified by the very characteristics of the user's speech to react.
Each creature is unique and child of each person.
