Interferences

Interferencias is a light and sound installation conceived as an immersive experience in public space. The work articulates a corridor of light, shadow, and electronic vibration through two facing structures that project beams of light in opposite directions, generating visual interferences across the surrounding architecture and the bodies that pass through it. As the public moves through the installation, they activate a shifting perception of space in which silhouettes, geometries, and atmospheres are continuously transformed. The piece also incorporates a real-time generative sound dimension, so that light and sound operate as a single system in tension and constant mutation.

The installation was presented at Zaragoza Luce 2026, a light art festival held in Zaragoza, and was developed in dialogue with the historical and urban context of Plaza de San Felipe, opposite the Pablo Gargallo Museum. Interferencias was also conceived as a project of collaboration and knowledge transfer, incorporating the co-authorship of the Zaragoza School of Art through the participation of faculty and students from the Sculpture programmes. This collaborative dimension extended the scope of the work beyond its exhibition setting, integrating processes of learning, shared production, and material experimentation within a situated artistic experience.

In its technical dimension, Interferencias takes shape as a generative audiovisual architecture developed with Pure Data, a visual programming system that makes it possible to articulate, in real time, an organism of light and sound in continuous transformation through variable algorithms. The work incorporates bespoke electronic design and a modular structure composed of LED neon matrices (180 lines, each two metres in length), conceived through a digital fabrication logic that supports scalability, constructive precision, and efficiency in assembly. This modular approach enables a robust, reliable, and agile installation capable of adapting to different exhibition contexts. Designed for outdoor operation, the installation responds to the real demands of public space without renouncing the specific languages of electronic art.
