ZOOX

Zoox(anthellae) are the microscopic organisms that provide coral reefs with colour and energy in exchange for access to sunshine. We are an artist collective who are interested in symbiotic relationships like these between nature and technology, sound and image, virtual and physical.

Last night we had the absolute pleasure of meeting the Los Auroros de Santa Cruz, who collaborated with us to make a new sound installation that will be shown at Centro Párraga from next week.

Los Auroros groups are one of the most traditional forms of music in the region of Murcia, and traditionally sing in villages in the early hours of the morning. Read more about them here.

Many thanks to Joaquín Gris Martinez for introducing us to the group.

A Quiet Desert Failure

Algorithmic Tumblr blog artpiece by Guido Segni uses an internet bot to gather pictures of deserts in Google Maps and uploads them, a process which will take fifty years to complete:

In its own way, it’s a monumental piece about internet contents, emptiness, time, storage, memory, oblivion and - ultimately - failure.

I programmed an Internet bot to traverse the datascape of Google Maps in order to fill a Tumblr blog and its datacenters with a remapping representation of the whole Sahara Desert, one post a time, every 30 minutes.

The whole performance will approximately take 50 years to be completed, but it is still not clear if the audience, the Google’s servers, the tumblr archive or the Internet itself will last enough to see the end.

So, be patient, don’t hurry.

The desert is coming.
