        Silent Music Plane 1967

        In this installation, a paper plane was made of the magazine cover of LIFE (June 2, 1967), which ran a story of the escape of famous Chinese musician Ma Sitson from China. It flies on strings at variable speeds synced with the tempo and level of two songs: Long Life Chairman Mao (1966), and Yesterday (1965). But the playback music is barely heard by the audience. In May 1967, a year after the nationwide Cultural Revolution took place in China, large-scale anti-colonialist riots broke out in Hong Kong. Lots of Chinese propaganda slogans and music were broadcast from the loudspeakers at the Bank of China Building in Central, Hong Kong. It was loud and heard everywhere in Central.

        Colombia vimeo.com/8742829
          Under the pseudonym: Vélez A/V, Alejandro Vélez presents his audiovisual projects developed live, inspired by the "mass media", "networking", globalization and the way humans and machines interact today. For this occasion, he presents ASCII, a work based on this legendary American code for the exchange of information. The ASCII language was created in 1963 as a type of "recasting" or evolution of the codes previously used in telegraphy. Since computers only understand numbers, the ASCII code is a numerical representation of a character like "a" or "@."

        Texas A&M University
        InTouch Wearables is a set of wearables that consist of dresses and shoulder pieces that allow mother and child to share remote touches through garments with ambient feedback. This was developed to explore how remote touches can convey emotion and help people stay connected between remote locations. This project was created based on the lead artist's personal experience with her child. In InTouch Wearables, a parent can increase the vividness of her conversation with a child through contextualized touch, and the loved ones may enhance the affective tone of their communication using a remote touch technology.
