“INVISIBLE SPACES” by MAYTE VAOS When i met artist Amanda Steggell , I was already working with the concept of made visible the invisible, she gave me a very useful devise, an electromagnetic machine that allowed me to “connect” with the invisible world. The human eye can see only a small part of everything that exists. From deep inside our bodies to deep in outerspace, there are hidden worlds that are too tiny, too far away, too fast, or too strange for us to see. Since the discovery of these mysterious places and objects, scientists have designed and built machines to do what the eye cannot…to capture and reveal the invisible wonders of our universe. In this solo work, I transform myself in a kind of sensory machine to convert this hidden worlds in real images and sounds, with the help of an electromagnetic devise and lot of imagination as well as memory,I want to make visible the invisible, I want to know how can I relate to and how I change the space and time I am inhabiting. I record the soundlandscapes of different places, transforming the sounds in lines of forces that form body shapes and atmospheres , filtering them with my memories, It creates a vision that is intimate and alien at the same time.
