My audiovisual work explores and symbolizes all that is new (technology), versus all that is old (non-technology) and the conflicts that come with it. It is an interdisciplinary soundscape project, and it will be a performance (or more) of a sound, music and visual art show, which will be inspired by the Manizales Aerial Cable. The performances will take place in the Antonio Nariño Park - Cable and (possibly) in other stations: Los Cámbulos - Fundadores, Camino de la Palma - Los Yarumos and Los Cámbulos - Villamaría. The work will feature a three-movement "symphony of sound", which represents the cultural identity of Manizales, inspired by the people of the city who travel the Cable Aéreo. It is a multidisciplinary amalgamation of electroacoustic music, sound, theater and visual arts. It uses "new school" technologies in art, interactivity, electronic and digital innovations (coding and programming, digital sound manipulation, computer synthesized and sampled sounds, and digital looping), but also uses "old school" techniques. : primitive drums, theater and performance art, paintings on large canvases.
