Artemis

ARTEMIS is a multiplatform transmedia opera. This project is inspired by NASA's "ARTEMIS" program, a space mission that will bring the first woman to the lunar surface in 2024, fifty-five years after the first man landed on the moon. This opera is based on cultural and gender studies. It explores the relationship and tensions between the female body, metal, technology, and power, through sound and includes the construction of interfaces such as the Speaker Dress No.3, a wearable sound sculpture composed of more than 150 speakers, amplifiers, sensors, and microphones.
