Lecho
2006

Lecho (bed) is a sound installation that explores the ambiguity of sexual sound when the visual context or scenario is omitted. The installation uses a mattress as the resonator of a four-channel audio that emerges from the insides of this common object. This almost silence sound emanation invites the public to lay down their ears in order to listen and be accomplices of an intimate aural experience. The audio for the installation is a collage made with various porno movie soundtracks extracts that constantly oscillate inn between pain and pleasure references.


Medios vacíos
2006

Medios vacios (Empty Media) is an installation that pretends to criticize the condition of reproducibility in electronic media. The piece is done tilling a massive amount of empty jewel case CD boxes on the floor in a pedestrian crossing. The CD boxes are gradually torn into shreds by the steps of the pedestrians generating a rough plastic sound texture that is amplified in the ceiling.

100 tweeters
2006

100 tweeters is a sound installation done in collaboration with Andrés Solís. As the title indicates, the piece consists in a multi-channel 100-tweeter system located in the floor. The audio is generated with a recording device that samples in real time various spots from the exposition entourage. These recordings conform an audio file library that is in constant random permutation and overlap.

Road Movie
2005
Colaboración con Iván Edeza

Road Movie is an audio-visual installation done in collaboration with video artist Ivan Edeza. This project creates a recognizable, yet unintelligible Mexican landscape. The visuals are a projected sequence of video stills of hand-drawn advertisements located in the walls of roads and popular districts of Mexico. These ads announce basically cumbia music concerts. The audio landscape is created with sound excerpts of the groups that are being announced. Both image and audio materials are digitally distorted and saturated in order to obtain a partial recognition of the original sources.
