Connected Memories - Installation test
Installation test at MECAD/ESDi, Barcelona.
Connected Memories (2007), is a machine that symbolically function processing and bringing to the conscious level stored remembering. The work structure is made by a database in expansion that stores memories in form of narrations and audiovisual. The installation is formed by two transparent light sensible head sculptures that dialogue between each other, exchanging memories, feelings and remembering. Each head has a Bluetooth and the people can interfere in the dialogue by sending text messages and videos using their mobile devices. The system immediately reproduces the files through a synthetic voice and TV, which are stored, been part of the head’s collective unconscious memory database. The heads also emit feelings that are expressed through light intensities that feel the user presence in the space.

Connected Memories (2007), es una “máquina” que funciona simbólicamente procesando y trayendo al plano consciente recuerdos almacenados. La obra, se estructura a partir de una base de datos en expansión que almacena recuerdos en forma de narraciones y audiovisuales. La instalación está conformada por dos esculturas (cabezas) luminosas que dialogan entre ellas, intercambiando memorias, sentimientos y recuerdos. Cada cabeza contiene un bluetooth, y los usuarios pueden interferir en lo diálogo enviando mensajes de texto, photos e videos usando su mobile. El sistema reproducirá inmediatamente el mensaje a través de una voz sintética, y el mismo pasará a formar parte de la base de datos de recuerdos, lo mismo con los videos y imagenes. Las cabezas también emiten sentimientos que se expressam atraves de la intensidad lumínica que emiten, sentindo la presencia de los usuarios en lo espacio.

The infrared sensor on the ears feels the presence of the people and light up or down the red leds inside the heads by measiring the distance. when people get close it is brighter.
This test was made to collect memories from the people in form of video and text sent by any mobile devices using bluetooth to head1 and head2
