{"uid":"xLwlxF4GTch1SChl","type":"artist","tags":["instalation"],"group":"no","group_name":null,"project_title":"The Foreigner","summary":"Would it be possible to be foreign to your origin? \nA foreigner is someone who doesn't possess a national identification with the place they inhabit, be it created by a social, cultural, or spatial condition. Patriotic symbols such as the Brazilian National Anthem, sung in Portuguese, reinforce that idea of nationality. The language that mutated into Portuguese, Latin, also originated another eight languages and is currently considered a dead language that is strange and unidentifiable for Brazilians.\n\"The Foreigner\" consists of the audio of the Brazilian National Anthem sung in Latin. That audio, which is four minutes long, is played at regular intervals by an Arduino-controlled speaker. The artist will define the number of repetitions and the volume in collaboration with the exhibition's organizers so that it respects the rules of the space. \nThe sudden start of the audio creates an immediate identification with the audience. That identification is then interrupted when the lyrics start in a language foreign, weird, and unknown to the public. The artwork creates that time and origin connection not just because Portuguese derives from Latin, but also because it is part of a past we no longer identify with. \"The Foreigner\" uses the invisible to rescue memory and identity itself, while it uses the origin to create a feeling of strangeness. It is in this surprising contradiction that the artwork happens to the audience.","space":"The sound installation consists of an audio file reproduced by a wooden speaker attached to a wall. Ideally, the artwork is exhibited in a closed space which can be filled with the music. That audio, which is four minutes long, is played at regular intervals by an Arduino-controlled speaker. The artist will define the number of repetitions and the volume in collaboration with the exhibition's organizers so that it respects the rules of the space. Access to a power plug is necessary.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"pt","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":7,"names":"Tamara","surname":"Sbragio Ganem","email":"tamaraganem@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"GB209972","address":"AV Ang\u00e9lica, 736.
