Any live performance dwells with two human sensorial stimuli (sound and visual) and two cultural embodiments (performers and audience). Whether they progress in balance or more importance is given to one or another, they are without doubt present and build the artistic experience from within.

Produced by LOOS Foundation, the installation with live performance HERTZ is based in the wave nature of both phenomena and the unique possibilities given by Science - through technology - for Art to blur the relation Audience/Performer. A dialogue between the nature of electronics and acoustic sounds, composed and improvised, fixed video and images triggered by the audience, and the very nature of performer and spectators, is developed using as creative starting point the common feature of Light and Sound travelling as waveforms with different and special properties. Scientists as artists and artists as scientists creatively walking through the continuous dual existence of knowledge and mysterious new paths towards the Future.
