This video documents the extent of the environmental impact provoked by the activities of an oil company in the Equatorial Amazon. Oil-related activity in the indigenous communities of north-east Ecuador has had a very serious social impact. Since the 1960s, various companies have been damaging the ecosystems of indigenous communities who live in shelters, supposedly protected by the state, while they are affected by disease and their internal relationships gradually break down.

The Interactive Sonic Environment is a multi-layered internet-based space of sounds in which users experience sensitive listening within a commuting journey in the London Underground. The environment contains contributions made by volunteers, in the form of meaningful sounds selected by them and reflective texts written by them. Five main spaces—entrance, tickets, corridor, platform and carriage— have been divided into categories according to the movement that the commuters make during the journey (e.g. going up escalators to the tickets' place). Four ‘symbolic' spaces—doors, trains arriving, announcements and steps—are the result of repetitions in their selections, which I considered relevant as a shared space in their memories - sub-spaces derived from the real space. Each category contains a list of sounds that are triggered and overlapped according to the user's navigation. The activity proposed by the artwork is one of “wandering”, or free navigation. Navigation allows, through the resultant layering and sequencing, the perception of a musical discourse of the commuting experience. It is a single-user multimedia application that embodies collective meaning. The whole of the virtual space and the feelings triggered by it become the focus of the experience.

Miguel reveals to Fábio the filmed footage of his childhood. The film is an investigation into the possibilities of fiction through a material that, in theory, does not hide anything. His raw material is some VHS that Miguel himself starts to review next to a mysterious and flirtatious friend from Brazil. Miguel speaks, his friend listens. Miguel presents his world, his past, his first self. With these reference images, Miguel structures a particular account of his experience as a Colombian child and the first manifestations of Satan in his life.
