Discontinuous Mediation I

The concept behind the fixed media composition Discontinuous Mediation I was born from reflections on the relationship between the concrete and the virtual. In contrast to the virtual binary environment, humans understand reality in a continuous way. Therefore, machines translate our perception of the physical world into their language. Based on this reflection, I developed a discontinuous procedure to understand the object, "guitar", that is represented by this work. A collection of sounds was recorded and organized based on a previously determined segmentation, building a structure totally biased by this mediation. In this composition, the discontinuous and continuous universes crash and coexist, with the first trying to represent the last.
