This collaborative project endeavours to unite the diverse artistic practices of Botsari and Jeron who examine the urban landscape through the lens of sensory observation, shedding light on humanity's exploitation of natural resources.

Coming from distinct artistic backgrounds they aspire to bridge the gap between sculptural experiences and the sonic realm.
The Project seeks to fuse the poetic, sculptural encounters of everyday life with a digitally processed soundscape inspired by the subterranean flow of water beneath the city of Athens.

The enduring billboards scattered across the landscape stand as man-made artifacts, while the mountains symbolize the natural essence of Attica, the birthplace of the Kifisos river. Botsari's research centers on highlighting architectural anomalies as intrusions into the natural environment.
These colossal metal screens, remnants of a pre-digital era, once conveyed various messages of consumption. The soundscape will encompass an array of interconnected electronic sound devices designed to sonify the Kifisos river. Through field recordings, electro-chemical water analysis, and artificial intelligence, we aim to compose a musical piece that articulates the musical and acoustic qualities of water within a soundscape.

 

Kifissos Water Installation is made possible by the generous support of the greek ministry of culture
