CITYLISTENERS [ 2014 ]

Interpolate as a resource to approach the plasticity of electricity, at least from one of its physical representations, such as sound. CityListeners is a device designed to navigate the city in search of sources of electromagnetic interference. The circuit is designed to transduce these signals to sound, with the help of an electromagnetic pickup and an audio amplifier.

These interferences are presented as part of an intangible sound landscape due to the speed and number of sources that exceed our current capacity to perceive them. The device is first a tool for drift, inside a space saturated with information and signals. Understood within the context of the “live act” it is an observation tool for directed listening.
