ONES
The project “ONES” proposes movement not only as a visual propagation, but also through sound; an expansive wave. It interprets movement as an interaction between people and objects, using the Cloister of Sant Jordi and Sant Domènec as a sounding box that allows for the creation of a visual and auditory game solely originated by the spectator.
“ONES” is based on a set of bells that allow for the sound to be conducted thanks to the actions of the user. It all stems from this sounding box where a sound path is structured in diverse nebulae, at different heights and with different tones, creating a chain reaction generated from its point of origin.
The work acquires a luminescent behaviour as night falls in the courtyard. The set of bells makes up a starry sky in the courtyard. The visitor can continue interacting with the movement even when the daylight fades and darkness creeps over the intervention.
