ABSTRACT
Who never whispered a secret to a wind chime, or saw it scare off evil spirits will have the opportunity to do so on a massive scale. The Espanta Espíritos is an interactive sculpture that embodies the spiritual and physical features of a wind chime. This piece presents itself as a giant wind chime made out of recyclable material, the size of a person, ready for outdoors or indoors. People can whisper secrets to the Espanta Espíritos, and through a microphone and a camera, it will register these secrets forever. Natural wind, or a specially designed reactive fan, will cause the Espanta Espíritos to move, and then play these recordings through different audio effects, recreating the secret as if said by spirits. To enhance the illusion, phantasmagoric videos of those who whispered will be projected on the sculpture.
