Fireflies

The “Firefly” installation invites the public to immerse themselves in a reimagined nocturnal ecosystem, where technology and nature intertwine in an immersive audiovisual symphony. Hanging between tree branches, autonomous artificial beings, created from the fusion of simple circuits and wire sculptures, emit flashes of light and delicate sounds, evoking the ephemeral magic of fireflies.

Each of these cybernetic creatures is a singular entity, pulsating with its own artificial life. Their intermittent luminosity, which mimics the mesmerizing blinking of luminescent insects, is not merely a visual effect, but a language, a signal in the silence of the night. The sounds they emit, subtle and organic, create a sonic texture that harmonizes with the natural environment, inviting contemplation and attentive listening.

At a time when these insects are at risk of extinction due to excessive artificial lighting, pollution, pesticide use, and habitat loss, “Fireflies” proposes a poetic reflection on the symbiosis between the natural and the artificial, questioning the limits of our understanding of life and autonomy. By invading the arboreal space with its electronic presence, the work creates an unexpected dialogue, where technology does not subjugate nature, but celebrates and expands it, revealing new possibilities for coexistence. The experience of walking beneath this artificial constellation of light and sound is an invitation to slow down, observe, and reconnect with the perception of time and space, immersed in a spectacle where the distinction between what is alive and what was created dissolves in the shadows.
