Our art practice develops around the context of the value of the power in the economic sphere. Our goal is to investigate the mechanisms of the human unconscious, as an individual belonging to a social group within the limits of capitalism looking at the consequences of the current global financial system.

The presentation of the work we do, shows a drift analysis of current social ecosystems.Inside the contextualization of our art practice our work has been governed by sound. We investigate various sound processes that lead us to develop our practice in sound experimentation as a resource for the realization of sound installations, live performance, interventions and objects. Our field of work effects from composition to sound objection format to visualize the work.Most of our projects have been created in the urban space, a situation where we use as sound interventions to raise other symbolic and emotional values around the metropolitan area. We use this juxtaposition soundscape through the implementation of digital sounds to deconstruct and transform the situation by creating a transparent virtual sound reality. The work is done with an anthropological character with the idea of creating new environments for the emergence of the question of how the individual takes their involvement in the actual social relations. The visual aspects of sound listening interventions that we are working on is given by the imagination of the person in your mental space to create virtual images.
