Controlled Environment
Daily human life, as well as nature have been represented in a more
abstract way each time, flowing towards a paradigm where the perception of the living
world and the mathematics are highly related through the digital interfaces.
The digital world is represented in indivisible and equal unites; the separation between
the world felt by us and its representation in terms of numbers and geometries come from long time ago.
However, the information technology spreads more the degree of abstraction already began with the geometrization
of the world.
The nature perceived by the senses, or experienced, is “modeled” thought as variable
or parameter in an more including scheme that explains and rules.
Moreover the questioning of what is perceived seems to be located far away from the modeling, it escapes from
it and in virtue to this strangeness it is being established an hermeneutic game from the phenomenon among us.
This is the place of the mystic.
Controlled environment is an installation where it is reproduced a slow rain of drops that fall over hot
metal plates, evaporating them instantaneously.
The water flows into a closed circuit though thin and transparent tubes which come out from the gallery and cross
the street hanging from the trees to then enter again in the space of the gallery.
A group of electronic sensors detect the falling of the drops emitting a tiny bright signal each time that the
drops pass in front of them, producing a bit of logical information shot by an integrated circuit.

The installation spreads out a visual and sonorous geometry in space where the rain
comes from parabolas, the falling of drops are straight lines and ephemeral. The time is sequence of
sounds of evaporation.
It establishes a system of connections and relations of perceptive phenomena , organics and continuous
to transform into “data” pulses of voltage by mean a electronic chip. Sequences of logical 1´s and 0´s,
spectrum of discreet signals that “inform” and “represent” through bits what happens.
In this way it is set against the extreme representation off the digital world , breaking it in basic
units undistinguishable and equal, to the perceived world as continuous to the senses.
