monstro is a site-specific sound installation made in the context of Animais new media art residency at Casa Branca.


This installation emerged from an exercise in situated listening, designed to explore how agencies operating across diverse spatial and temporal scales manifest collectively through a vibrational event. In this instance, a deactivated communal clothesline has transformed into a habitat for small arthropod life forms, inhabiting the hollow interior of resonant metallic structures that respond dynamically to wind forces. The vibrational materiality arising from the interplay of living and non-living agencies is amplified using field recording equipment, generating a dynamic soundscape that encapsulates the interconnected process of mutual becoming.

The video above documents an exploratory performance of the installation, which—presented in its purely audio form—was featured as a radio piece in Monteaudio Festival 2024 and in EARS HAVE EYES, Episode 39.
