Dark Room is a large-scale audiovisual installation that transforms visual memories into an immersive flow of color and sound.

How it works

The program analyzes color values from video footage and translates them into real-time generative soundscapes. As colors shift across an 8x8 grid, an algorithm maps their RGB values to piano notes, creating a continuous ambient composition. Each color becomes a tone—brighter colors produce louder notes, while variations in hue determine pitch. This "digital alchemy" transforms ordinary visual data into an evolving sonic experience.

The archive

The videos come from a participatory project exploring meaningful places in Portugal, New York, and Argentina. Participants guided visits to seemingly ordinary locations—sites where they experienced something significant. These aren't monuments or landmarks, but personal places: a street corner, a park bench, a building entrance—locations charged with memory and meaning.

During each visit, participants became guides, uncovering layers of time and significance embedded in these everyday spaces. Acting as urban archaeologists, we used dialogue and storytelling to reveal the invisible meanings people attach to places—a constellation of personal histories made visible through the simple act of visiting.

The experience

Dark Room creates a vibrational encounter where archived memories become present through color and sound. The installation invites viewers into a realm where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary, where personal geographies dissolve into shared sensory experience.

Installation video — Of Water Resiliency

Water moves like a thought — adapting, caring, connecting.

This video grew from a walk and a conversation with another artist, following the current of creativity and renewal.

The traveling bookcase contains 12 open-ended short stories printed and folded on paper. The stories were inspired by conversations with 12 women from New York, Lisbon, Evora in Portugal, and Cordoba, Argentina. It is made of wood, fabric, and metal hardware.

Guided Visits, abstract range composition, is a tryptic graphic of a map and pattern combining digital photographs and color fields. The images render a diagram of relations by associations between personal relationships, visiting places, and clothing. I requested a change of clothing for my relationships, friends, and family in the countries I call “home,” Argentina and the United States. I traveled back and forth from New York to Argentina and visited a place dedicated to each person dressed in the person’s clothing. Once at the location, I took a picture and a self-portrait of myself there. The photographs document a layer of significance within the woven net of associations pertinent to this perimeter of the image and following the variables of a “game” in the piece’s program or diagram. Abstracting and documenting a gesture that takes all these linkages in the form of an artifact, a frontal portrait, in a personal perspective.
