The Eternal Return, pre-Hispanic Interactions / Cristhian Avila (PE)
Cristhian Avila's project "The Eternal Return, pre-Hispanic Interactions" is a that sound installation by Cristihian Avila that acoustically revives the time of pre-Hispanic Peru. Ancient musical instruments such as pipes or flutes, which were discovered during archaeological excavations or borrowed from various collections around the world, were scanned and made from clay-like material using 3D printing. Sensors are used to determine various wind parameters, while Arduino is used to control pneumatic systems whose valves open or close accordingly. The result is unique sound worlds that bear witness to days long gone. "The Eternal Return, pre-Hispanic Interactions" received an Award of Distinction at the 2022 Prix Ars Electronica in the category Interactive Art +.
