DEVICE
RICHARD BARNEY
EFÍMERA EDUCATIONAL
Efimera is a system that reacts to human pressence generating inesperated situations. A device capable of transform a space in a sucession of landscapes and changing atmospheres due to an interaction with visitors.
[15:20 - 16:20]
Builds dark abstract landscapes from the programmed transformation of electroacoustic recordings and its infinite superposition up to total madness. Composer, player and sound artist from Mexico, belonging to the electroacustic music ensamble Rorschach_3.0, whose work comprise instrumental, electroacustic, electronic and audiovisual pieces.
Efimera has a 14 to 18 teenager educational activity. They have the opportunity of handling all the stages of the device and developing a graphic art piece inspired in the resultant atmosphere.
CARLOS GÁRATE
[19:00 - 19:45]
Presents a forceful landscape based on electromagnetic waves and vibrations coming from subsoil, bringing to the forefront earth materiality. Sound artist, musician and composer that have recently worked around the nature and effects of earth materiality and its energy in social systems, in form of sound performance
ISAAC LEVI
[20:00 - 22:00]
Closes the festival with his caribean beats, that after a journey around Chile, Spain and Sweden have a dark, minimal and abstract tinge. Polifacetic panamanian artist whose work in the electronic music live performance goes more and more into the purism, always looking for our most intimate sensitivity and showing an exquisite taste and sound mastery.

THERMOGRAPHY THERMAL PRESENCE Visitors cause a thermal alteration of the space. Their thermal print is registered by infrared cameras generating a convulsive stream of data that excites the system in different ways.
They operate the thermal cameras capturing the thermal print generated by their colleges. DATA MANAGEMENT
[12:00 - 14:00]
Brings us a practical investigation about transgressive ways of working with sound, a sound landscape its spatiality reacts to the thermal presence of visitors. Artist with scenic arts background who has being heading his work to new languages, related with audiovisuals, VJ and sound.
BEÑAT KROLEM
[12:30, 13:30, 17:00, 18:00, 20:30, 21:30]
Brings us a piece of his project Oholtza (pallet, scaffold) an investigation about visual and oral improvisation. A sculptural performance based on the live construction of modular structures transforming the space and its context. Through some luminous and articulated artefacts of his own creation, he builds improvised pieces involving visitors bodies. During the six performances, the pieces are designed and built live, among visitors, who are able to participate in the process.
ATMOSFERIC DRAWING They develop a graphic art piece from the stimulating environment, translating the sound landscape in to their graphic own language.
Vasc artist with an hybrid work about the interaction between orality and image. His recent investigations and artistic works focus on the fact of improvisation in art. At the present time he is finishing his doctorate in Reno University, Nevada.

EFÍMERA couldn’t have been born or lived without the energy of many people..
To the Madrid city hall, specifically to its Government, Culture and Sports Area, for believe before anyone on EFÍMERA. To La Casa Encendida, for allowing us to transform his patio in such radical way. To Pablo Royuela Vicente for opening us the doors of LCE. To Jorge for resolving problems even before they showed up. To Silvia for being our cerverus for one day. To the Luz Casanova Usera High School for the hope of students and teachers. For all their work, without wich EFÍMERA wouldn’t have been possible:
PARTNERTS
Impedancia acústica: 409,4 Pa·s/m
Thermal excitement awakes too a sounding layer that agitates the fog and the bodies in it. The generated data by the thermal presence of visitors affect sound artists sets and performances so space is filled by the consequences of their presence and new incentives of movement.
[14:00, 16:20, 18:40, 19:45]
Densidad media del aire: 1.1839 kg/m3
They take the place of the sound artist generating a sound art piece from the thermal data and the vocal performance of one of their colleges.
PAULA LAFUENTE
Duración: 10h
Introduces us in a peaceful, gleaming, southern landscape of evolving sounds that drives us to unknown places. Artist, curator, investigator and techer from Italy, living in Madrid, in perpetuous search of producing urban space socially using art as a critical tool for direct action.
SOUND PRODUCING
SOUNDSCAPE
[16:40 - 18:40]
Consumo de glycol: 8 L/m3· h
The very only light source is a zenithal projector that dyes the fog with the thermographies captured by the infrared cameras. Visitors’ presence becomes live a changing and colorful characterization of the space.
MICROFESTIVAL OF REACTIVE LANDSCAPES
LIVE VDEO EDITING They get familiarized with the atypical situation of editing video on the fly in a live situation, manipulating the thermal video streaming coming from their colleges in to a huge format projection.

Efímera
MASSIMILIANO CASSU
Presión de vapor: 3,17 kPa
According to the attendance and increasingly during the day, a thick fog is being released, making air more and more palpable. Usual forms of human interaction, visual ones specially, are going slowly senseless and thermographies are needed to locate visitors.

ATMOSPHERE
They learn how to manage the data streaming via wifi and how to analyze it in an open source software with a patch created for efimera, generating MIDI data, which is sent to the sound artists.
