Arrhythmia is a sound installation of an ongoing composition made out of rhythms of the everyday life. By writing in a pre-designed scheme, visitors are able to point specific activities from a timeframe of 24 hours. This data is translated into sound through a CV (Computer Vision) reader, that triggers the information as a new beat in loop. Each addition, conforms the collective score of an arrhythmic clock, that beeps according to individual uses of time. The interpretation of the images, that is made digitally, is attached to parameters from the actual clock-time of the day, as well as sub-cycles, like the hour, minute, second, that preset variables in a way that the harmonic reading is always evolving according to time.
The design of the score was conceived considering the simultaneous understanding from humans and machines towards a shared interface. Its materiality wonders about register and the ephemeral accumulation of passed information, allowing an awareness of the dimensions that conform the content of the piece.
Arrhythmia, questions the subjectivity behind routine and repetition, through regarding the multiple appropriations of personal rhythms, that coexist with the ones imposed.
Visual artist and designer, graduated from Visual Communication (2009) at Centro de Diseño Cine y Televisión, in México City. Since then, she works with different types of media that involve analogue and digital technologies. In her work, she uses image and sound to create interfaces that allow the exploration of abstract structures, and a human-machine interaction from different perspectives. Her work follows a procedural approach, that involves time, cognition, and human action expressed through dynamics of participation in a social context.
She was selected at Transitio_MX: International Festival of Video and Electronic Art, where she received the Prize for Young Creators for the project "Not Yogurt" in 2009, and honorable mention in 2011, for the project "Muaré", in the same category.

She has also worked as a designer, and was a professor at Centro de Diseño, Cine y Televisión.
At the moment, she is a member of Medialabmx, a non-profit organization dedicated to the investigation of art and technology, and is a Master student at Interface Cultures Lab in Kunstuniversität Linz, with the support of FONCA-CONACYT program for International Studies.
