Tonalitats afectives (Affective Tones) emphasizes the visions of six artists who are connected to the liquid gesture, the indeterminate process and the involuntarily creative will as tools and processes of consideration. Changes in subject matter, algorithmic creations and neobiological worlds that evolve into intimate processes to speak about global effects and concerns, which are listened or whispered to the visitors, between causality and onirism, the memory of space and context, the objectivity and physicality, where the human presence dilutes into the responsibility of being the cause or its effect.
There are installations that listen to the audience, transmitting their voices through processes that elude matter subjects (Navid Navab & Michael Montanaro, through water and voice, “Aquaphoneia”) and installations calling the audience in order to arouse the awareness of the inexorable climate change (Kathy Hinde, through water and sound, “Phase Transition”); works born in the nature that require careful and direct listening (the intimacy and proximity of “Piedras del camino” by Óscar de la Fuente) or a dedicated and transformed view, where neobiological structures are altered by artificial mechanisms (Sofia Crespo “Artificial Remains” and “Neural Zoo”); installation proposals that link algorithm and willing creative act -digital, analog or both-, where artificial intelligence is creating for us, from acquired knowledge (Marc Vilanova “Aresta”, composed by eight saxophones) or machines propose harmless-looking games that speak about the future (Raquel Meyers, “Thread of Fate” and “Myopia for the Future”).
