🧶🛩️🔇”…these war plane sounds are then translated through an algorithm, into patterns and visual codes, which are later woven into tapestries”. Listen to the 1 minutes interview (stay on the first plane photo to hear) with a visual artist @rom.laico and check full interview of Marco Loi whom we interviewed in Sende on our blog: sende.co/blog Read the longer transcript here or visit tomorrow our site to hear the whole story: “The noise of an invisible land is a project about militarization in Sardinia. Just to give a bit of context to Sardinia is the most militarized region in Italy and it hosts also the two biggest European military bases. And my research tries to investigate these boundaries of these spaces, which are invisible spaces because you cannot access them and you cannot see them or perceive from the outside, and it’s also the only element that can make you understand what’s happening inside, is the only element that makes you understand that inside there are pre-war exercises from NATO army. And these tapestries are abstract at the end because they are just a translation of the sound. So you cannot see the, canonical visible, how we are used to represent spaces. But these abstract representation becomes the only way to symbolically represent these impossibility of representing these hidden territory. And the representation inscribed in these tapestries that is generated from the sound, embody these impossibility of fully accessing the conventional way, to represent a space. So, in this way, all these elements together, all these linguistic representations, both the visual and the sonic and the photographic, are creating the grammar of the project, to highlight the constant state of censorship of these spaces.”
