Ivy Noise by Daniela di Maro & Roberto Pugliese

Ivy Noise is an ongoing series of interactive sounds installations by the Italian artists Daniela di Maro and Roberto Pugliese.

Electric wires climb the white walls, following not a casual pattern, but a defined one, after an accurate study of the growth of the ivy. Black lines design organic forms; branches form which unusual flowers blossom: conical speakers of various dimensions. A previously defined sound scape is given forth by some of these peculiar buds which acts as a background to the acoustic improvisation, determined instead by the human presence. Every noise is being captured by a series of microphones and random samples are taken in real time by a custom designed software, and rendered back through the speakers. Voices, steps, movements, nourish the installation. The totally synthetic sound, generated by this technological parasite creates however the illusion of being in a natural environment. A psycho acoustic journey, in which nothing stands still; everything is being transformed in an unstoppable and impromptu process of metamorphism. An experience which through multisensory stimulation creates a relation between man and technology, hypothesizing not only a peaceful coexistence of the two elements, but even an Eco-sustainable hybridization, reinforced by the use of recycled materials.
