Mortalidad_por_VIH2019_DEF.PDF
In this piece, sound is synonymous with death. The work translates data into sound from a PDF that indicates the mortality cases related to HIV and AIDS from 1981 until 2019 in Spain. The art installation visually and sonically interprets page 8 of the latest published document about AIDS-illness-related mortality, published by the Spanish Ministry of Health. The sound, which is generated by sine wave impulses, questions the historical causes of the invisibility of AIDS in Spanish territory. Reprinting this statistic table aims to voice the loss of awareness by some sectors of the population about the epidemic in specific locations and contexts. The work is an artistic research and approach to sonification for the class “Impulse / Response: Rhythmanalysis” supervised by Jessica Ekomane.
