Atacama : 22º 54\' 24\" S, 68º 12\' 25\" W is a sound installation that maps the locations of the soundscape recordings while providing an opportunity for the listener to experience the soundscapes through personal listening stations. In 2012, the artist travelled to the Atacama Desert in order to explore and record the sound of ruins left by humankind. He was interested in natural phenomena, like wind, sand or electromagnetic radiation, and how these phenomena activate the ruins and set a new landscape.

Shoppers turn market sounds into music, as video software tracks their physical gestures. As market-goers engage with the piece as a musical instrument, "sonic instants" (footsteps, shouts, barks) re-form into musical gestures. Through disassembly and reassembly we re-imagine perceptions that are normally masked by habit and routine.
