A Room of One´s Own
Interactive Sound Installation
A room of one´s own. Interactive sound installation. Tablet, Tripod, WhatsApp group, sound. Coco Moya (2016).The general concept of the exhibition was based on the structure of a house open to the visitor, so that he himself could explore and use the space as a meeting and exchange place. This installation generated a virtual common space, an online living room, or a door behind the bathroom where people could communicate and leave messages. In the bathrooms of the room, a tablet connected to Whatsapp was arranged in which you could write directly, or through your own mobile. Within the group, which included some 70 people unknown to each other, audios were sent where they discussed the disappeared women in the history of art, and more generally about the daily practices of the invisible.
Closely related to amateur radio listening practices, still current in online format, where each user is a receiver and transmitter at the same time. This made it possible to open a gap within the room so that opinions could be expressed that were not mediated by the institution, and come into contact in some intimate way with unknown people. This collective radio was working during the exhibition and at the end the group was destroyed.
