“Al Passo” - Sound Installation
What belongs to the digital realm is no longer separate from our physical lives.
We see it. We speak it. We live it.
It has become a collar—voluntarily worn, yet impossible to remove. We move through an invisible storm of numbers—an endless archive we rarely question, but constantly consume.
“Al passo” is a sound installation that reflects on the condition of being perpetually exposed to digital information.
It attempts to quantify and translate the vast amount of data we unknowingly process each day—through sound, through time.
By peeling back the layers of our devices, Al passo invites us to listen—to the unseen, the background processes, the rhythms we no longer hear.
At its core, Al passo is about time: how we spend it, how it is consumed, and how it reveals what truly matters.
Behind every screen lies a stream of binary code: 0s and 1s.
Recalling Morse code—an early system for translating language into pulses and silences, where one had to wait until the end to fully grasp the message—the audience is invited to “listen” to a TikTok page. Represented by thousands of numbers printed on the floor, each digit is translated into sound.
This act of listening becomes a form of measuring, of reclaiming presence, of confronting the invisible architecture of the digital age.
The installation has been presented at Hosek Contemporary in Berlin, on the 28th of June 2025, during the event “Reclaiming our Bodies”, organized by Marlene Schomberg.
