Project Presentation
The present composition is focused on the concept of language, primarily on it’s written and oral form.
Every language, whether written or oral, contains symbols and its own distinctive sounds that distinguish it from others by providing a specific identity and hence uniqueness.
Syntax has the meaning of order and this order is dictated by the syntactic composition model adopted.
To order, therefore, different languages by means of a unique syntax of composition, paradoxically lead not only to a sort of hybridization but also to a highlighting of the different symbolic and sonorous variables of the individual languages involved.
In this regard, a poem has been translated into different languages and then has been processed using the same programming language, typical of Internet browsers, leading to build a horizontal babel with the vain purpose of standardize the communication.
This construction is destined to collapse by the structure used as insufficient and inappropriate to the assumption and contrary to its own intrinsic value in the diversity of its components because it tends to destroy both the form and substance of symbols and original meanings.
Communication without communicability: silence.
The sounds used are the result of the conversion of text using speech synthesizers and their following transformations.

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’’.
