The event featuring Fausto Balbo and Carlos Ferrando i Bellés contains the empirical curiosity of pure experimentation. “Photographic sculptures with infrasound” are shown with images that melt into their resonant frequencies and are in turn surrounded by them. Those who stop in front of the exhibit are enveloped into their sound while they observe the visible moments created through the monitors. This creates a “new language of seeing and hearing,” contextualized into a dual scenario (image and sound) where several levels of perception interact. The installation creates an atmosphere, highly evocative, stripped of the most immediate and superficial emotions. An atmosphere of formal ancestral beauty, specific of a space inhabited and contextualized by the art itself, where the experience is the synthesis of the material, subtly interpreted by our own senses, objectively concrete in its physical presence. Objectivity is given by the dynamic results that the elements create upon the individual, creating to each its own personal story. The event – experiment creates awareness for one’s sensibility and serves as an important point of reflection on the necessity to expand the theoretic canons of aesthetics as a whole.
