Fluid Synth is a sound installation composed of glass and ceramic pieces through which air and water are used to produce and diffuse sound. Between archaeological fragment and sound laboratory, the work explores the close links connecting science and craft, taking as its inspiration various uses of terracotta (Ollas: irrigation systems in agriculture and refrigerator: conservation system in desert regions) as well as laboratory tools (refrigerators, thermoacoustic tubes).
