They present at Medialab Madrid within the framework of the banquet_08 exhibitions nodes and networks, the interactive installation Mur.Muros / Distopia II. The interactive installation Mur.Muros / Distopia II reflects the flows that occur in our globalized society, establishing an equivalence between the movements of populations worldwide and the movements of the users of the room where the same facility is housed. An interior space, determined by a cylindrical enclosure, houses real-time visualization and sound processing of the sounds of the exterior space, determined around the cylindrical enclosure located in the same room. In this way, the sounds produced by the users of the room are captured by different receivers located in the four cardinal points where the installation is located. These ambient sounds, or those generated expressly by the users themselves, are processed and converted into the basic elements that give rise to an evolutionary environment inside the cylindrical enclosure. Inside we find the dynamism of Gaia (the Earth laid out as a living organism) metaphorically represented where we can see and hear how the different sound inputs evolve that account for the movements of the exterior, in parallel with the evolution of the movements of the populations in the globalized world.
