The work consists of three immersive and navigable 3D scenarios, with integrated sound effects, which are housed within an interactive mobile application. Users can explore these scenarios by placing their cell phones in a virtual reality viewer.
This project is a machinima (video game-based video) showing the Bayan Obo mine site in Mongolia, highlighting its crucial role in the extraction of rare earths for the production of modern technology. Including mobile devices, electric car batteries and wind farm turbines.
This project is the result of an artistic exploration carried out in Arica, the (present-day) Chilean city bordering Peru and Bolivia, in the middle of the Atacama Desert. It consists of 5 works as diverse as the territory they inhabit.
This sound bridge invites the listener to explore the geometric dimension of nature, which evokes the fractal complexity of the organisms that inhabit our planet. From a space broccoli to any terrestrial organism, this sound world reveals the beauty and uniqueness that emerges from a mathematizable dimension.
The project in hand finds its main inspiration in the work of Steven Feld (2020) and the painting "The Girl at the Window" by Salvador Dalí. It is an exploration of the sounds emanating from the author's bedroom window over the course of a full day.
The piece begins with the resonant sound of a struck wooden box, which initially appears empty and useless, but reveals contents that transport the viewer to worlds both real and fantastical.
The listening piece Resonant paths is proposed as a reflection on the visual hegemony of the paints of the yajé plant, (images emerging from the ceremony of ayahuasca or yajé). The popularization of paints
as a way of recognizing the culture of the plant, is part of the cultural extractivism of which it has been a victim since the eighteenth century, which unbalances the multi-species relationships between human and non-human people involved in it and its environment.
It is an intriguing concept that explores the paradox of how unstable or chaotic elements can give the illusion of stability, despite their underlying chaotic nature. This phenomenon can lead to unexpected surprises and challenges when sudden changes or collapses occur.
