8. Final PDF Portfolio

For this project I decided to deconstruct a laptop in different parts. Then I attached them in a structure made of steel making a vertical body. Not only to display it next the wall to create balance, but also to get close to the object and be able to see it from both sides. We see a cable still connected to the output in contrast to the other object, which is disconnected.

Weight of the beat is the title of a series of works to achieve the destruction of the carboard.  Based on the aspects of gravity, sounds, and repetition of body actions. The performance is divided in 3 stages. In the first video I’m showing the heaviness of the material through the force of my body and the sound of the rocks falling at the bottom of the boxes while I tried to move the vertical tower made in cardboard boxes. The second video is about the deconstruction of the boxes using the weight of the rocks.  Finally, The third video is showing the results of flatness of the material with marks and dusts.

In the second project in the series of Weight of the beat, I decided to make a performance based on balance and sound with the material of cardboard, rocks and sticks. The performance started with the construction of the sculpture through layers of materials until I deconstructed the structure taking away some parts to listen to the sound of the materials bending and breaking. To achieve the final composition, I went through several steps that included intervals of time to see if the sculpture was able to stand, and It took me more than 2h. I reduced the video to 30 minutes.
