Virtus: artistic installation as perceptual experimentation of a familiar space through multimedia technology.

This project is an alternative way of exploring a familiar place by recording the sounds of a main street in front of my childhood neighborhood and converting them into visual information (car alarms from the next bloc, bus engines getting closer, people talking) and filming the streets’ view from both sides and turning them into sound information (a lady with a dog might cross the street so quietly that we cannot hear their steps). The furniture or sculptures interpret the familiar space like an abstract organic landscape that subtly reminisces a living room. From there, and inverting the visual and sound information, I attempt to re-introduce my childhood street as an unknown place. In this project, the application of graphic design merges with other techniques not as a solution but as a tool for proposing questions and playing with the systematizations of graphic language.
