SILENT
IMMERSIVE AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
Creativity, corporate image, concept boards, communications.
Silent is an immersive and interactive proposal that explores the
human relationship with silence. From birth to death, we follow our
relationship with silence and its evolution over the years. In a
space where image and sound surround you, will you be able to live
in silence and stillness?

PROJECT
Silent
In a dynamic space that follows the interaction of the audience
and starting from the utmost silence, we will explore scenes
reflecting on comfort, abandonment and harassment, hyperactivity
and the absence of silence, the search for silence within
monotony, solitude and forced silence, the impossibility of
experiencing absolute silence, and the final silence.
The
proposal utilizes dramatic structures inherent in performing arts,
applied to an installation or authorial video game-like
experience, adding an interactive component as an essential part.
The configuration of a space without physical elements aims to
enhance the relationship with image, sound, and the transformation
of space according to the scenes. Simultaneously, it aims to
facilitate the movement and engagement of the spectator with the
action
Through interaction and mapping, the audience's movement will be
guided, utilizing this displacement as part of the discourse and
dramaturgy. At times, the spectator becomes an active participant,
either as the protagonist in their own story or in the stories of
other spectators, generating interactions with the space that
modify it and create unique scenes resulting from the particular
reaction of that specific representation. Image and sound move
around the space in 360 degrees as appropriate. This movement does
not follow a realistic treatment but instead follows the emotional
perception of the spectator.

VISUAL FOUNDATION
The
Particle of Space
The Beginning and Particles
The "Silent" capsule is the core of this physical experimentation on
the relationship between humans and silence. Taking this element, the
capsule, as a reference point, all the images appearing in the scenes
are based on and affected by rhomboid particles symbolizing it.
Symbol and Map of Silence
Throughout the entire experience, a wheel-shaped map of silence
guides us. With each new scene, the wheel rotates, displaying the
symbol of the starting scene and its number. In this way, as we
progress through different passages or acts, the map is completed.
Upon exiting the capsule, the spectator receives a map of silence with
this wheel, symbols, the title of each scene, and brief texts and
haikus that complement the physical experimentation.

TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE
The
Capsule
The foundation of the proposal lies in mapping and interactivity.
By using position and motion sensors, as well as microphones, we
obtain data to generate interaction between the spectator's body
and space. Four white walls created with projection fabric and a
series of speakers distributed on their back allow us to map sound
and image, utilizing the 360 degrees of space.
The projected images are a combination of previous audiovisual
recordings, animations, and pre-created 2D and 3D elements, some
of which are transformed in real-time, along with images generated
in real-time through the transformation of sound and motion into
visual elements.

DIFFERENT PARTS OF SILENT
The
Walk, Scenes, and Sharing Silence
The audience is received about 100 meters from the capsule. After
viewing an initial video, they are provided with noise-canceling
headphones, and a silent walk to the capsule begins. Once there,
they are given final instructions on how to proceed inside the
capsule. This walk allows the spectator to immerse themselves in
silence, discovering a different sonority in a daily act. This
experience transforms the individual's state of mind and prepares
them to experience the event from a different energy than their
everyday life.
Once inside the capsule, we embark on a journey through the
different scenes presented, where each individual lives a unique
and personal experience. Upon exiting, the audience is given the
"Map of Silence," a summary of each scene and the presented
symbolism. With this map, the group is invited to sit for a moment
in a space prepared for the occasion to share what they have
experienced.
