(Dimensions: 10m x 10m)
Strike, scrape, shimmer... the sea is listening.
La Reverberación Negra is an immersive, interactive sound installation built from
suspended metallic instruments. Visitors touch and move the instruments freely. Their
actions trigger real-time sound processing and shifting projection, creating a landscape that
breathes and responds.
The installation features up to six microphones, two projectors, two speakers, and a
range of suspended instruments,including sleigh bells,finger cymbals, a thunder sheet, and
a Thai gong.
This work gives voice to the silent suffering of marine life caught in the violence of
ongoing metallic pollution,especially in Latin America,where extractive industries continue
to damage rivers and coastal ecosystems. Once vibrant rivers have turned gray. The sounds
of the installation resemble the cries of animals that cannot speak for themselves, and the
shift from white to red projections speaks to the bloody massacre marine life endures from
metallic pollution.
The audience becomes part of this fragile ecosystem by interacting with the metallic
sound objects, shaping the sonic and visual textures that reflect humanity's impact. This
installation invites us to listen as the ocean goes quiet, to the vanishing rhythms of marine
life and the silence left behind.
Audience members activate the discreetly miked suspended percussion instruments.
Contact/clipon microphones capture the signal and route it (along the pipe grid) into the
computer for live processing/envelope following.
Said signal also generates or alters visual projected media across both projection surfaces.
