An electronic oscillator is connected to an open circuit, in a way that when the user touches 2 metal bars he/she himself/herself becomes the electrical resistance therefore being able to vary the frequency of sound.


The old modified TVs react to this sound as an oscilloscope having all kinds of different patterns and reactions.

Prefalll 135 is an interactive audio-visual installation. It uses the energy of falling water to make watermills rotate and produce sound and graphics.
Deposits of water placed on the upper part of a vertical surface make water fall upon a circuit of watermills.
The user can direct the water towards the watermills she/he wishes. The rotation of each watermill produces a new sound or proceeds on an already existing sound, while affecting the graphics projected permitting the user to create her/his own audiovisual composition.



Software:: OpenFrameworks, PureData

Reactive Stage is an interactive visual media space for dancing performances. Is a small project made during the workshop of technology, image and movement (with Toni Mira and David Dalmazo). It has been realized at “La Caldera”, a center of performing arts in Barcelona.



A graphic mutating shape follows the dancer and interacts with her, through a tracking system that receives both position and size information. The color and comlexity of the shape form are also influenced by audio analysis.


The shape is projected over tree translucent screens in front of the dancer. The light of the projection becomes visible over the screens, but passes through them as well, giving the viewer the impression of a tree-dimensional shape, a visual media space within which the dancer is immerced.
