Tundra

Tundra is a floating sound landscape from the series Sabana, Estepa, Tundra, which elevates like a utopian fragment, a digital “matrix” in its physical form: a sound installation of steel wire and mini speakers. It starts developing from the articulated equilateral triangles that evoke the landscape infinity. The audio stratifies found materials, such as the sound of wind, concrete poetry that alludes to the cold steppe (electronic voices) and guitar harmonics especially created. The work opposes nature and artifice, its light tactile form and the electronic cables. Approaching to the concepts of post-humanism and Anthropocene, it turns into a metaphor of change processes, capturing the specific movement of a floating landscape that, potentially, inscribes a multiplicity of them.
