Ànima
“Ànima” is an immersive installation of more than 3,000 fiber optic strands to reflect on the universe of data at the Luz BCN 2020 festival. This immersive space makes visible one of the fundamental materials of the knowledge society: fiber optics. The installation will have a second life after the festival thanks to the Tot Raval Foundation, to whom part of the material used will be given.
In a world in constant competition, the more information we collect about people, the more power we gain over them. As fast as light, our data circulates around the world, it ceases to be our property and becomes part of an archived data system. The lights with which we can interact in “Ànima” become symbols of collective information that remind us that we belong to a system in which, like the lights of thousands of optical fibers, we are all equal and indistinct, linked to a digital soul.
