"Library" is an audiovisual performance inspired by the way we process experience and reach the memory on perceptions of the world, as in the construction of knowledge.
The title alludes to the library folder, common to virtually all computer software: a storage space of modular components, expandable, often interchangeable, but always essential.
This folder name responds to one of the many analogies with the physical world with which the computer interfaces and behaviors were appointed at some point in the recent history.
In the audiovisual performance, the "library container" is the imaginary of the performers and the embeddable modules are the personal experiences acquired (knowledge).
Inspired by the analogy physical world/computer, "Library" operates with sound and images of our private libraries, but now, those where we keep books, magazines, cds, dvds, etc.. The soundscape is an hybrid of analog sounds generated and processed in real time with samples and other sound files.
