Ruidero, 2017/18, sound installation

What is noise [ruido]? Is noise the experience of current digital era? Ruidero is an exploration of everyday life “noises” within city streets by Thelma García and Laia Solé. We notice, register, and then isolate the excess of visual and sound bits of information. We display them on site, through smartphone related technology, for passersby to experience an enhanced present, in which our soundtracks and photographs blend with the excess of images, sounds of public spaces.

Ruidero first iteration was part of Senses/Art in Odd Places (AIOP), a public arts festival developed along 14th street. Ruidero proposed a collection of 5 "hits" of the 14th street everyday noises, which passersby could acces through QR codes and using headphones. In its second iteration, noises from Barcelona were shipped to NYC for the exhibition at Whose language does the produce speak?, Cuchifritos Gallery, New York, 2018.
