Körper

Antonio D'Amato / Italy

Körper is an acoustic piece entirely based on the elaboration of an acoustic pulse sequence which was produced in the course of an MRI diagnostic test. The aesthetic idea implied in the composition refers to the topical and controversial theme known as “global control and censorship”. Through the examination of the constant and continuous information flow, which is either consciously or produced by everyone, it is possible to accomplish a condition of control; that condition ought to benefit the national and global security.

web-mindscape

Claudia Robles-Angel / Germany - Colombia

WEB-MINDSCAPE is an interactive installation joining diverse aspects, such as social network, sound, brainwaves and visual elements. It creates an immersive audiovisual environment, which is site-specific, where sound is diffused in surround, and the visual elements consist of light produced through electroluminescent wires (EL wires). Visitors are invited to interact with the audiovisual environment (light and sound) by using an EEG interface, which reads their brain activity. Therefore, they are confronted to messages from a social network (in this case, Twitter).

Loophole is a sound art installation that depicts the transitional period from conflict to peace, a temporary stage in the Colombian society reconciliation process. The piece proposes a journey by the Colombian Coffee Growing Area soundscape, through audio samples taken in pedagogical practices carried out in the project “Laboratorio Sonoro de Caldas”. The audio samples were taken in provinces and small towns of the Caldas Department: Chinchiná, Guayabal, Villamaría, Supía, San Lorenzo and Arboleda, where violence imprints and collateral effects of the Colombian armed conflict still remain.
