Sound Disturbers is a temporary interactive installation in public space, which seeks to put in evidence some negative effects present in auditive language systems between man and hard technologies.

​

The sounds emitted by various technological devices are usually generated at 8 and 16-bit resolutions; these are in other words, linguistic codes that allow the communication between objects and rational beings: A first language system amongst man and existing organisms in artificial ecologies. Although this language system has been created by man and for man, there are negative characteristics that deform its essential aspect. Cell phones, computers, and handheld devices interact with people, through code sounds.

​

The interaction between man and technology in this system has accelerated the stress levels in persons and triggered addictive conditions that are gradually spreading in society. The behavioral phenomena that result from these communicative dynamics evolve constantly and without any foreseen limit.

​

The objective of this temporary Public Art proposal is to warn society about the dangers generated by a consumerist world, which operates through technological environments.
