Projects from Master in Audiovisual Innovation & Interactive Environments
Flora, Jardín electrónico
by Judit Castells, Paula Jaime, Daniela Guevara, Mariana Pachón
Flora is an interactive installation and at the same time a board game, inspired by a natural ecosystem. It arises from the need to question the dynamics of the society we live in, its structures, and our relationship with the environment. It invites a reconnection with lost skills, such as play, collective imagination, and collaboration among living beings. On the other hand, it proposes new ways of interacting with electronic elements.
Flora provides a temporary and immersive space in a world where one can explore, play, and become part of a cycle, a circular ecosystem in every sense of the word.
Following a path with different stages and obstacles, in the game, participants will have to discover how organisms relate to help them communicate with each other so they can grow, wake up, and live in harmony. A river that doesn’t flow, a giant snail that has lost its home, and flowers that haven’t been pollinated are some of the elements of this beautiful electronic landscape. Each one awaits the participant's contribution to reintegrate into the ecosystem.
OMNI
by Sara Gamazo, Anna Granero, Rodrigo Bastías
The project focuses on creating an installation that explores the effects of sensory overstimulation in contemporary society.
Through a combination of visual and auditory stimuli, the installation aims to take participants on an emotional journey from calm to chaos, reflecting on the impact of technology on our lives.
It seeks to create an immersive experience where the audience can disconnect from the outside world and connect with themselves in the present moment.
The project aims to encourage reflection and dialogue about our relationship with technology and the constant pursuit of personal fulfillment in a world saturated with stimuli.
La depresión de Danakil
by Arrate Ayala, Andrea Badia, Carlos Dubón, Marina Gómez
The Danakil Depression is a generative installation based on data collection that conveys a visual representation of the environmental conditions of one of the most inhospitable and acidic environments on earth, the Dallol hydrothermal system.
The installation aims to show the spectrum of extreme life using nature itself as a creator and to give visibility to a place that is difficult to access where the critical situation of the environment shows us a reality; our ecosystem is fragile, changing and dependent on many agents beyond our control.
Artemisis
by Jesús Delgadillo, Ana Harrison, Yuji Lee, Camila Simsiroglu
Euphyllia
by Stephanie Romero, Isabel Tavoni
Panta Rhei
by José Andrés Cubillas, Luis Díaz, Biel López, Paula Villavicencio
Métron
by Luis Rocha da Silva, Flor Salatino, Sara Montoya
With a metronome as a starting point –as a time and movement structure– Métron explores the limits, focusing on the intersections and influences between "different" mediums (mechanical, sound, light, space) to create various choreographies that challenge and reveal the metronome's perception.
Proximidades
by Catalina Ansaldi, Marta Minguell, Ana Karen Orozco, Daniela Savalli
Proximidades is an interactive audiovisual installation based on emotional patterns identified during the time of confinement.
The collective memory of a moment of universal crisis is translated into a sensorial experience, which is updated with each visitor's participation.
To address this issue, we worked with data collection and analysis. For a sensitive approach, we created an interactive website (www.theproximitymovement.com), which, through a simple interface, allowed participants to enter basic information (country of residence and day of confinement), and their emotional state of mind.
After analyzing the collected data, we began to identify some patterns. By using a broad view, we set out to organize the emotional patterns and represent them synaesthetically with visuals and generative audio.
PORTAL
by Javier Albo, Ale Moscoso
PORTAL is an interactive installation of light and sound that explores the thresholds of human perception.
The piece is presented as a black void that is activated and illuminated by its visitors. With a shout or a simple word, the voice opens a gap in spacetime through which sound travels transforming the dark void into a visual experience similar to a vortex.
Coin d'amour
by Azzurra Stilo, Ana de la Mora
Have you ever wondered what you feel when you touch your forearm or, in other words, what does your forearm feel when you touch it?
By answering these questions, the project aims to be a proprioception exercise that establishes a dialogue between us and our body to discover its importance, listening to what it feels and respecting its "emotions".
Based on a statistical study, it has been determined how people from different European cultures feel when they come into contact with different parts of their bodies.
In the 'Coin d'amour' installation, when the user comes into contact with different parts of his or her body, what that part feels when touched is represented by sounds and generative light graphics projected onto the surface.
Aural
by Natalia Gima, Mago Hart, Miriam Felici
Aural is an immersive experience that allows the user to “hack” its electromagnetic field.
We use the physical interaction with a luminic sculpture to design a soundscape in which the user is complete immersed in the emitted frequencies, being able to modify it in real-time. Creating a feedback loop of action and reaction between the physical and energetic body, such practice provokes a state of deep relaxation throughout. By doing so, the spectator can “design” his or her aura.
La Mantis
by Gemma Reverter, Heidi Valda
As we are used to macro-events and large formats to pay homage to what we admire, the proposal refutes the macro show culture and installs itself in the small, honouring the insect queen, The Mantis.
Sense of Rhythm
by Rubén Oya
Sense of Rhythm is an interactive art installation about the perception of music. Visitors co-create their rhythms and experience them in an immersive environment through sound, light and vibrations.
Sense of Rhythm is an augmented and accessible music experience based on universal design to make it barrier-less for people with vision or hearing loss.
