Maquinas de los Invisible #2 Conversaciones Geomorfológicas

Machines of the invisible are a series of devices for reading and amplifying different environmental magnitudes that have transformed our planet at a geological level since before the appearance of human beings. From experimental processes of translation and amplification of physical forces such as wind, erosion, changes in temperature and humidity, radiation, among others, this project unfolds as an exercise in terrestrial acupuncture taking the form of a series of site-specific sound, light and mechanical installations, performative experiences and the development of low-cost technologies and open source hardware.

Geomorphological Conversations is the second action in this series which took the form of a site-specific sound-light installation and performance in the Swiss alpine landscape, in the rural community of Tenna. It was realized in the framework of the Alps Art Academy of the Institute of Environmental and Land Art. Exploring the limits and contrasts of the landscape as vectors within the horizontal and the vertical, this action focuses on the erosive process of the wind on the mountain systems of the area as expressions of natural phenomena of degradation of these limits and possible affective expressions of the territories. The project was part of the Safiental Biennial of Land Art 2018.
