MECHANISMS OF FASCINATION

Mechanisms of Fascination is the title of the solo exhibition created for Villa Elisa, in Benicàssim, Castelló.

This exhibition brings together pieces that spin, pulse, and even engage in conversations about their surroundings without human intervention. They explore the idea that our perception is limited, not only when it comes to the vast and minute scales that shape our lived universe, but also in relation to the artifacts we have created in pursuit of our desires.

The works on display oscillate between the industrial and the organic, between the solidity of concrete and the ephemerality of light. They could be fragments of an uncertain past or traces of a future yet to be deciphered. Everything becomes ambiguous, and uncertainty emerges as the driving force of the experience.

MAKING
Primary Mechanics | This octagonal light sculpture consists of 20 modules that blink based on basic mathematical calculations executed by the piece in real time.
Improbable Impressions | Several luminous elements on the wall emit messages that we can clearly read. Through a hidden camera in the room, the system can observe the visitor’s actions. From there, a trained language model interprets a human-like dialogue between the three entities. The installation plays with the idea of granting humanity to the artificial—transforming an automated analysis process into an act of subjective observation.
Fog | This mural consists of a physical, grid-like system that holds a collection of war images reduced to just a few pixels—only enough for a computer vision algorithm to begin processing and selecting objects within them. Interestingly, the system repeatedly highlights common elements across the images: bicycles.
Deep Time | In a play of scales, these rings rotate so slowly that their movement is almost imperceptible to the human eye. On the screen, however, amplified to a microscopic scale, a surprising speed is revealed. This piece confronts us with the limits of our perception and highlights how difficult it is to fully understand the world around us.
