A Daily Beat
Presented at “Skybox“, Brooklyn, NY 202
The installation A Daily Beat - a composition composed by twelve works. In the installation A Daily Beat, we can see different combinations of colors and patterns portraying several times of the day. Each one has in the title Opus, latin word for work, that remits to a music composition.
The series of artworks presented was developed during two residencies in New York: at Mothership NYC and Kunstraum LLC from the beginning of July to middle of September of 2024. They take into consideration the rhythmic ‘noise’ that is a constant presence in New York. ‘Noise’ can have many interpretations but is seen here as a transmitter of information that the city portrays (Peter Krapp, Noise Channels: Glitch and Error in Digital Culture, 2011). This is imposed by the perception that we create of space, and the amount of data we gather from it. It can be revealed in various shapes such as in the sound of viaducts, the subway, air-conditioning, in the pattern of the construction of bridges, scaffolds, buildings, windows or smoke.
Through the sum of information captured all around Brooklyn and Manhattan, from sound to visual, there is the will to change the perception of time in a city where there is always something happening.
