About the artist

Idrioema is a multimedia project by Luigi Scotti & Teresa Águas based in Portugal. It has the objective to explore the sound giving to the sensorial organs not only a passive absorption but a true organic conscience of what the sound provokes interacting with themselves. It is the augmentation of all our senses don’t perceive; to create one physical experience of the intellect…

The works are usually made using custom generators of frequencies and software, binaural sounds, data converters, contact microphones, recording voices, field recordings, amplified objects and visual programming codes. The all essay is processed with a surround spatialization. Soundtracks released for theaters, artistic performances and expositions, among the others: Trasumanar for the theater company I Pedoni dell’ aria, D.E.S. Dubito Ergo Sum for Morgan Nardi Coreography, First Line for Paolo Fossa and Alessandro De Vita Choreography.

Awarded with the first prize at Punto Y Raya Festival 2009 for the video Linearea. Included in the catalogue of the OFFF Paris 2010 for the artwork ‘’Nostalgia for a past future’’.
