Bajo, Relieve
2024

suspended ceiling, network router, tactile transducers, power amplifier, 4-channel audio

Bajo, Relieve (Low, Relief) is a sound installation conceived as a non-visual intervention within the exhibition space, adapting to the form of its host architecture. The piece uses audible and inaudible recordings of seismic activity, captured in the aftermath of the 2021 La Palma volcanic events, to induce physical movement onto architectural elements. Tactile transducers embedded in a false ceiling convert sonic waves into mechanical energy, causing surfaces to vibrate and behave like membranes, rumbling and altering the air pressure within the room as an atmospheric reminiscence of the Tajogaite eruption.

This work results from a residency in 2022 in La Palma, Spain, supported by TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes.
