Artist exploring curious connections between sound and image.

See what your Hear, Hear what you See.

Working with digital and situated experiences.

[bernardo varela @bevarela]

Sometimes, urban noises can sound like nature sounds, but these insightful ambiguities, linking different ecologies, often go unnoticed as our brains automatically lean towards the familiar rather than the novel.

Immediate Transients is an interactive, site-specific installation driven by real-time data from the immediate urban environment, transforming local sounds and motion into nature-inspired narratives.

[bernardo varela @bevarela]

Immediate Transients reengage people with their immediate environment by establishing a connection between active listening and motion awareness.

"Echo Scatter" harnesses technology to draw attention to our immediate environment.

It utilises sounds around the exhibition space in central Paris to question our relationship with local acoustic ecologies.
