Our presence alters the environment where we are, and makes it ready to react; our presence alters the way others feel the environment and how they link with it. Our presence is by itself a way of intervention with no need of any interface manipulation. The fact of taking a space up and the way we behave in it, give us a lot of information about us and our relationships: relative position, speed (velocity), behaviour pattern… many factors to consider before the interaction itself.
These kind of action-reaction influences we can apply to the sound in the space are the basis of waves.
The installation uses a long piece of rope to make a 3-D representation of a group of waves floating on the space. These waves generate sound because of the physic of the movement, so sound and images are linked, making only one shape: the rope which creates the volume, creates simultaneously the sound when the rope cut the air. This will shape only one element that will be altered as we behave in front of it, as our body is moving around it. The wave will go from a still line when we are quiet to chaotic shapes of irregular sounds when there are lots of movements around the installation.
Actually, my work is developed applying the relationship between art, science and thechnology to the space and the perceptive systems.
My interest in computing or electronics is used to generate a process and not a representation from them. Although dealing with different topics, my work is always a play based in the relationship with the space: the way in which we perceive the space or what kind of phenomena exist in it.
In some way, they are environments that invite you to reflect on it or show my thoughts about my research on perceptions and how the perceptions influence our relationship with the environment.
The contact with the reality and the plastic languages is very important for me, because I create situations not simulations.However, technolgy aloud me control the factors that take part on this space.
In that way, the public is mesmerized, they are studying what it's happening and I'm watching them because they are the only factor that I can not control and the one that rule my work.
