Jardín sonoro: presente transitorio

• Díaz Rojas, Jaime Ignacio

• Entropía

The project consists of a sound installation focused on a central sand figure, conformed by a mound and a monolith, with the presence of two audio tracks: one inherent to the object and the other coming from the outside, in order to create a sonorous atmosphere. This work explores the intersection between Zen Buddhist philosophy, the science of entropy and artistic creation through a work that challenges and problematizes conventional perceptions of sound and the ephemeral nature of existence. Impermanence, intertwined with reality and manifested in each resonance and transformation of the sand figure, is presented as a transcendental force that embraces the boundaries between us and the environment. Jardín Sonoro: Presente Transitorio, a harmony that fuses internal and external sounds, invites us to value the present moment, and summons us to a deeper connection with each unique instant. The monolith, a human enigma of evolutionary existence, emerges as a tangible symbol of impermanence within the contemplative plane of the karesansui (Japanese Dry Garden). Entropy, interpreted in the light of impermanence, reveals the constant of change, containing diversity and uniqueness. The existence under infinite possibilities gives each moment a unique value. Ultimately, this work is established as a poetic reminder of the ephemeral dance of life, where each sound, change and singular moment compose a unique and unforgettable symphony in the eternal flow of time.
