Tiempos de Ruido Times of Sound A strong and mysterious sound from an unknown object shook the Santafé village in Bogotá the night of March 9th 1687. Throughout history there have been different hypothesis about the causes of this fact. From the first apocalyptic perspectives ¨as a demonic manifestation from the end of times¨ to the scientific explanations surrounding volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and telluric movements. Nowadays the most documented version dates its origin to a meteorite entering the terrestrial atmosphere with its subsequent sound wave crash. ¨Tiempos de Ruido¨ is a project that explores the materiality of sound and fictionalises sound imaginaries of this event, from the construction of sound objects that combine collision and friction between meteorite fragments with soles of pirita, electromagnetic processes, amplification and analogue synthesis. It encourages to reflect upon the human interaction with machines, mineral thought, spatial imaginaries and the connection between spiritual and physical universes through sound. The first version of this exhibit was presented in VOLTAJE in 2017 at the ¨Salón de Arte y tecnología¨ organized by Los Andes University during the art Week in Bogotá. In 2018 at the Annual Show of Media Art, organized by the International Image Festival in Manizales, Colombia. and in the same year at the Criatek Festival in Oporto, Portugal. During the creation process, new objects related to ¨Tiempos de Ruido¨ universe have developed, such as objeto-maleta exhibited at the collective show ¨Paraphernalia¨ at the Galera Casa Hoffmann in Bogotá. https://bit.ly/2ymrTbw
