Por la Boca Muere el Pez (with carla ariza)
May 2007
fishbags, alive fishes, speakers, mp3 players
This project was born form the mind of Carla Ariza. The primary idea was to work with alive fishes and make them force the viewer to ask himself about the nature of having alive fishes in bowls on an art exhibition. The project consists in six bags of rubber plastic filled with water and alive fishes on it. All the rubber plastic bags have a speaker that it’s making talk the fishes. Most of the fishes have silly conversations with themselves but a few of them are talking about the concept of art and deep discussions.
The project creates a lot of debate when it was presented at Fine Arts academy in Barcelona. There was a lot of controversy about the whole nature of the project and what was saying to the viewers.
Now a days, Carla Ariza keeps and takes care of those fishes that once were a piece of art.

Autumn 2007
plastic recipients, speakers, viral campaign
The project runs around the idea to create a pharmacy product for people that aren't hungry. It’s a sere of different products like meals that just sound and smell like the food but you aren’t able to eat it. It’s a product created to make you feel hungry. Soon it’s going to be a webpage exclusive for the Ifood Project.
Talaies Sonores Artwork (with carla ariza)
2007-2008
Design
During the preparation of Talaia Sonora 7.0 Collserola we came up with the idea of design a really fancy waypoints that leads the people up to the hill where the Talaia was to be performed. Together we find out which materials suite on the project and which was the concept around them. Finally we design this weird object that contains the exact coordinates of the Talaia.
The final object was a transparent sphere made of plastic that contained a transparent film with coordinates printed on it. The object could be found in hidden points nearby the place where the Talaia Sonora was to be played

2008
recycled furniture, TVs, lamps, viral campaign, lightning
This was our last project until the date. We had to develop a project in a public space. The proposal came from the idea to make an art exhibition on the middle of the street in Mollet del Vallés (BCN).
We came up with the idea to create a private space in the middle of the city. This domestic environment had the clues to know the person who supposedly was living there. Using different objects, details and videos we wanted to create the world of a mad man who is a voyeur and likes to control the people around him.
The contradiction come when you put this private world in a public space and the next twist was made by the idea that we show on public space the house of somebody who is breaching people’s privacy.
The project was shown the 28th of June at Mollet del Vallés wrapped in the first Art Show on the Street, called NOU @RT AL CARRER.
