The work created by Mike Stubbs (York, UK) and Daniel Escobar (Calí, Colombia) uses the water element as a started point to indicate an exchange process. Water is that first natural element that has the possibility of reflecting our cities and their inhabitants, and our shared responsibility to take care of it. The two artists begin with a process of collecting materials: water and sediments from the rivers that cross and reflect their cities, to reach an exchange of images, sounds, and then a dialogue with the techniques of digital art creation, such as the projection of video mapping, the analysis and transformation of images by visual algorithms, and the creation of an interactive installation. The objective is to create a documentary piece that accounts for this creative exchange.
