HOW DID THE COVID-19 BREAKDOWN AFFECT YOUR WORK AS AN ARTIST? HAS YOUR WAY OF THINKING/PRODUCING ART CHANGED? IN WHAT WAY?
COVID-19 stopped many of my projects, like my art exhibitions in Washington DC and Oslo. It also paused my theater tour –I work as a sound designer for theater.. However, it has opened other ways to exhibit. Since my quarantine, I have been exhibiting on virtual galleries. I think, it could be a solution to share our art in the future. Because I think, the world will never be the same.
ABOUT THE BITE
24 horas de rúido
According to the study A Universe of Opportunities and Challenges, by EMC, in 2020 the digital universe will reach 40 trillions of gigabytes, equivalent 5 thousand gigabytes per person in the world. Due to COVID-19 pandemic this number is exponentially increasing, bringing us some questions: What will we do with that information? Who reads those posts? How are we affected by that? 24 horas de ruído (24 hours of noise) proposes a reflection about the volume of daily information that we consume on the news, adds and social media. It is a digital collage of the posts read by the artist on his social media between April 18th and 19th, 2020, generating a 300x150cm art piece with a continuous text of 450 thousand characters.
