Bajo, Relieve
2022, 2024Bajo, Relieve (Low, Relief) is a series of sound installations conceived as non-visual interventions within exhibition spaces, adapting to the form of its host architecture. The pieces use 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.
These works result from a residency in 2022 in La Palma, Spain, supported by TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes.

2024
suspended ceiling, network router, tactile transducers, power amplifier, 4-channel audio
In Bajo, Relieve No.2, 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.
