Transdisciplinary piece that crosses performance, concert and audiovisual installation, simultaneously exploring visual, sound and digital arts. The musical composition is taken to the limits of its possibilities, through manipulation and processing of submerged and propagated digital sound and image through water. This action creates a new universe, a new ecosystem, where interactions of organic and non-organic matter create changes in the environment, while physical and digital coexist in an abstract narrative, between a liquid fragmented memory and the perception of ourselves projected in time and space. This piece focus on the fragmentation of memory, space, time and, consequently, it reflects the volatile memory of the human being’s existence. In order to do this, it was necessary to create an instrument - an acrylic water tank combined with arduino system and hydrophones - that made the exploration of subaquatic sounds possible. This is an immersive experience where water refers to the liquidity of memory and, consequently, to identity. It’s also a special edition with a piece designed by carincur in acrylic and real water, where we can hear its sound. Still, it is the culmination of the artist’s long journey, who has been through several experiences with the prototype of this project.
