To experience the piece, one enters a dome and sits down in the Slow Wave chair, putting on headphones and a padded eye mask. The piece is divided into three chapters with spoken titles recorded with the voice of a robot (automaton): 00:00 / 07:34 Chapter I - Farm deep Listening At the beginning of the journey, the Slow wave chair is programmed to vibrate in patterns produced by several sound bowls. Simultaneously, the sound of the bowls are playing in the headphones. The sound was spatialized in a binaural way, when moving away or approaching, to the left or to the right, the movement is accompanied by the chair's technology, activating the skin and the spine. That is, with volume and distance strategies an immersive and dreamy space is created. As an introduction to the following chapters, here a certain relaxation may ensue. Chapter II - Tactile burrowing in my brain The medium of this segment consists of a repertoire created with more than 15 textures between small recordings and spoken poetry, in which the words are indecipherable. A walk inside our brain in a mixture of particles of sound elements, grains and non-existent substances. Between confusions, false noises of nature and the sea, curiosity is stimulated through the sounds and vibrations that are offered. Chapter III - Solitude Lullaby The final part that gives title to the work speaks of affection, care and silence. The recordings of the two artists singing are a wordless reception to an intimate rehearsal. An approximation between the body-woman-mechanism and the body-chair-machine is seen in the way in which one supports the other in this composition. Between pauses for breath and a long silence, a song of pain and love reverberates within the immersion as if everyone who hears it is connected to a great architectural structure. * Supporters: Alan Macy, Dr. North, Ryan McCullough, Terra Form, SBCAST, AGAUR-Catalunya, Universitat de Barcelona. 1/1

This immersive experience invites the audience to engage in a fusion of visual and audio-tactile sensations, challenging modes of listening and encouraging them to physically feel the vibrations on their skin as the movements of the performers intertwine. In the presentation, techniques such as 3D sculpture and machine learning were used to create synthetic and natural voices. The interactive sculpture draws inspiration from the "Las Automatas" series, with its initial prototype acting as the input device. Within this interaction, the object transforms itself into a touch-based sound controller, capable of translating tactile interactions on its surface, including touches and gestures. As the artists move intuitively, the device's ability to transcode code into auditory expressions becomes palpably evident, resulting in a unique and immersive sensory experience.

Variable dimensions. . Inside Voice is an invitation to feel and listen with body through a kinesthetic chair. The embedded technologies transcode the sound picked up by the microphone and transmit it to the chair. To amplify the vibratory aspect the cones were removed from the speakers and we inserted and amplifier and a Arduino between the input (microphone) and output (chair). In addition, the work has a computer that activates PureData software, making the a bass and slow sound. The treble is eliminated and with it any recognition of the words being spoken.

While one person speaks into the microphone, the other sits in the transparent chair to feel their vibrations. 1/1

By touching the touchscreen with a finger, the audience can interact with the sculptures, creating different streams of information, bringing the shapes closer or further apart.

As a conductor of chaos, the public is invited to relive the memory of calls and invocations of hidden messages, which are not present in the program. The origin of the expression Atucanation comes from the word in portuguese: Atucanar (direct transitive verb) means upsetting (someone or yourself), annoying (up), pestering (up), disturbing (up). 1/1

Programming in reaper. "A Sonora" is an acoustic sculpture. We listen to a 5 min piece created in collaboration with Mariana Carvalho (BR) and Sellu Herraiz (ES) that reveals a sound-bass that transpass the digestion of the human body. Through three different sensors, we incorporate words, noises, invitations to a physical interaction or we activate a motor with a contact microphone that reveals the internal noise of the machine. * This work is part of a series called “As Automatas”, in which each sculpture, virtual or real, manifests a different “emotional performance”. There is a formal line common to all the sculptures, as they are positioned on the wall, are activated by the human presence and identify themselves as feminine, which is why their names are preceded by the article “a”.

Conceiving the machine in the very structure of man, the post-human advent - although somewhat apocalyptic - serves as a reading to understand our place in contemporary times: they say that carnal matter is obsolete in the face of technological intelligence. Obsolete is still the technological material, quickly disposable and of short duration. Given Joana's work, it is up to us not to reinforce the dualism between machine and man, but to investigate its logic: if the body cannot cope with the artificial advance, what use do we make of these tools? ” Fragment of Pollyana Quintella's text "Homo Cibernecticus".
