SALA DE MAQUINAS @ VISUAL BRASIL
Image by visiophone
“Sala de Máquinas” (Engine Room) is an audiovisual interactive installation, which intends to reflect on the idea of the reutilization of what we have acknowledged as obsolete…in this case old modified TVs that react to sound!
An electronic oscillator is connected to an open circuit, in a way that when the user touches 2 metal bars he/she himself/herself becomes the electrical resistance therefore being able to vary the frequency of sound.
The old modified TVs react to this sound as an oscilloscope having all kinds of different patterns and reactions.

Church Street, Burlington, Vermont USA • Seen in an exhibition of the work of Sally Linder, at the Firehouse Gallery. Burlington artist Sally Linder’s work explores the experience of arduous, elaborate, mystical and cultural journeys and creates bodies of work in reaction to them. These projects have included spending a month alone in a remote cave in the canyon land of Utah, living with the Dayaks, Antandroy, and Bakweri tribes in the jungles of Borneo, Madagascar, and Cameroon, and traveling to the informal settlements around Johannesburg, South Africa. This retrospective surveys Linder’s paintings from 1992 – 2009, bringing together both her figurative and abstract bodies of work.
As the original sign carved into the building says: Ethan•Allen•Engine•Co•No•4 ? "Designed by A. B. Fisher, a prolific 19th century Burlington architect, this firehouse ranks as one of the most attractive buildings in downtown Burlington. Built in the heyday of volunteer fire companies, it was completed in the spring of 1889." *
Now operating as The Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts , The FCVA provides visitors with a fully-integrated arts experience through contemporary exhibitions and educational programming informed by the work in the Firehouse Gallery. The FCVA includes a community darkroom and photography studio; artist-in-residence studio; multimedia conference facility for lectures, film series, and panel discussions; and Resource Room and Library with public meeting space and Internet access. Burlington City Arts (BCA) opened all five floors of the building in 2004 after an extensive historic renovation, and has yet to complete the .5 million capital campaign. ? The Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts is programmed and managed by Burlington City Arts.
