“Topology of a Cloud is an interactive 24-track sound installation responsive to the process of data transmission among local internet servers. The installation utilizes an array of digital modules of data-collection that react to the activity of local Wi-Fi networks, materializing data traveling in the form of electric charges, radio waves, and light pulses imperceptible to human senses. The vibrations emitted by transducers (a device that converts variations in a physical quantity into sound) travel through the metal bars emulating a kinetic force scribing a generic language, bringing up notions of information permanence, encryption, and accessibility. A parallel network composed of tape interwinds with the steel axes to create a multi-vectorial volume with the shape of an artificial neural-network model, commonly used in the field of machine learning and data mining. A symbiotical and juxtapositional relation between the steel axes and the adherent tape renders a model of the cloud that frames it as a subjective figure of speech often thought of as an attractive, seductive, seemingly ephemeral abstraction.”
