Insania

INSANIA

An interactive sound and light installation that materialises an automaton to renounce the musical pleasure of noise and the protagonism of the operator to reinterpret the image by alluding to its wandering glitch state. It opts for the fractured, the broken, the state of mind in which the limits between the real and the imaginary no longer exist, a state that has been dubbed ‘madness’. A magical act, a dreamlike journey, a connection between mundane carnality and transcendent consciousness, the abrupt expansion of symbolic space… through rupture… 

Unreason as the ultimate foundation of reason. 

It becomes clear on entering it how BEING modifies the parameters of EXISTENCE and CREATION. By introducing error, the participant creates chaos and rupture in the communication patterns between the device’s modules when interacting with the audience. This leads to an aberration in the AV and in the expectations of the participant, thereby OPENING a new symbolic field of a higher order.

Heidi Valda is a Bolivian artist and creator of interactive light spaces on and off the screen. She has concentrated her attention on multidisciplinarity as a way of making, creating and producing artistic works that enrich traditional ways of understanding art and technology in symbiosis. Her research covers various areas of digital culture. She has exhibited at festivals such as Sónar+D, MUTEK.ES or Poblenou Open Night, among other platforms. She holds a Master in 3D Animation from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and another in Audiovisual Innovation and Interactive Environments from Barcelona’s Centre Universitari d’Arts i Disseny (BAU). She combines her skills to create artistic hybrids that are mainly inspired by fractal psychedelia and distorted reality.
