‘’Listen to Batteries’’ is centered around the dominance of information and data in our world, in relation to the ideas of the post-human, the artificial and the animal. It focused on the the collection, the transaction and the archiving of the data of contemporary technological systems placed in different scales, apps and worlds. The Digital Installation explores the idea of a fully autonomous and fully functional, mechanical ecology. All the bodily – materialities that inhabit this ecology are trans-related and co-dependent, intermediated from their natural, cultural, religious, historical and material context. This ecology is situated in a scenario where the concept of time is united and undivided, or in other words there is no distinction in between the past, the present and the future. The materialities that are included in this system construct one new, united post-human body, purposed to produce info and data, feeding the algorithms day and night, with energy, feelings and thoughts. These energies are being digitalised, stored, transformed and mutated, inside an ever ending cycle of collection and feedback, with the final objective of producing and consuming a product.
