Chesoi -  3-2

Finalist in the Fundación Destellos Competition 2015.
Un regalito misterioso (A mysterious little present)
9:22 (2014-2015)
This acousmatic work is a tribute to Matilde Pérez, Chilean visual artist who passed away in 2014.  Composed at the author's personal studio in Santiago de Chile and the University of Sheffield Sound Studios.  Pérez was a pioneer in the kinetic art and the confluence of art and technology.  The piece uses synthetic and recorded sounds, combining \manual" techniques and random algorithmic procedures for some structures and materials.
Taken from an interview, the artist's voice tells in Spanish her ideas on art in general, the creative process, the discovery of vocation and the the role of technology in art:
"Go!   /  Because  this  is  always  moving,  it's  changing  and  changing...   /  You  never  finish  the
journey of your path...  And it's a path that never reaches its end / I don't know, I don't know, I don't know...  / Travelling / Nothing is lost / It is alive...  / Blank space...  / Dream...  / Little treat,
little present...  / A dynamic, a movement into the space / A different set of mind...  / Since I was a
little girl, around 4 or 5, I said:  I'm a painter / Technology is a technique, it isn't a thought, it isn't
a creation / Little present...  / I'm giving away...  / And if it makes someone think, I'm giving away
a kind of mysterious and bizarre little present to get alive with other stuff."  (Translation:  María Jesús Inostroza / A. Albornoz)
