The French artist Damien Petitot shows a subjective map of the city through the "Trails / Murcia" installation (15/09/2016)

With a mix of audio, video, programming and mapping, it proposes a reflection on the trails we leave during walks in streets and squares.

The facility, which opens this afternoon at 20 pm, will be open in the Puertas de Castilla Center until 18 November.

The Doors Castilla Center hosts this afternoon and over the next two months the Trails / Murcia installation, Damien Petitot, a project of subjective and collective mapping using the smartphone as a field recorder.

Born in 1982 in Cambrai (France), Petitot questions the influence of technology and the network in our intimate relationships with the world around us.

The artist uses your personal data (photos, videos, chats, data, social networks ...) as material for their work that subsequently used in technical devices designed to generate fictions random, subjective maps of the city where you are and extraordinary walks in which many files are projected.

Since his arrival in Murcia, the author has made several trips by different parts of the city accompanied by people who live here and have been capturing every day the daily life of the streets of Murcia to form a file that will be used in the installation.

These samples or fingerprints feed a digital device serving the audiovisual installation.

With the use of "geotagging" and geolocation functions, Petitot together creates a digital trail of those walks around the city.

Damien, who has a Master of Arts in ARTS2 School, also working for several years with different stage projects (theater, music, performance) as a video artist and performer in different parts of Europe.
