Collaborators: Jรบlia Mugica, Ivรกn Paz and Andrรฉs Costa.
XIII Mostra Sonora i Visual – Convent de Sant Agustรญ, Barcelona.
June 2023
Description:
Interactive installation that explores the links between the human physical body data and the body digital behavioral data hosted on the Internet. The piece is composed by a drip system with the cultivation of different microorganisms collected from the bodies of the artists. Based on probabilistic models with Markov Chains, three algorithms create sentences based on the conversations of both artists on social networks. The generated texts can be heard through two Text To Speech systems on three loudspeakers distributed in the space.
