Quintetto by Quiet Ensemble
Quintetto by Quiet Ensemble from yatzer on Vimeo.
Quintetto is the latest project by Fabio Di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli aka Quiet Ensemble. Winner of third prize at the International Contemporary Art Prize - Celeste Prize, Quintetto is an installation based on the study of the casual movement of fish used as input for the production of sounds. Quiet Ensemble calls these casual movements "invisible concerts", and these concerts can be anything from walking to the subway or driving to work, anywhere there is a conceptual relationship between the natural and built environment.

Houston Fence
The Houston Fence is a temporary outdoor installation on chain-link fences inspired by QR code barcode patterns. It is located at the intersection of Broadway and Houston in New York City, a crossroads notorious for its heavy traffic. The project was built as a result of a commission to improve fences put in place for a major street infrastructure construction project.
The project's blog can be accessed by mobile devices by means of QR code stickers placed on the fences.
The team behind the project is composed by Carolina Cisneros, Carlos J. Gomez de Llarena and Mateo Pintó, the same group that made the Fulton Fence previously.

Fulton Fence
The Fulton Fence is a temporary installation in Fulton Street, New York City on view through the spring of 2008. The project is a response to the effects of development; in particular the visual pollution created by the presence of construction sites in a small concentrated area.
The project is also online as a 'digital' site and is linked to the street intervention by signs that show a mobile barcode and a URL which can be accesed by any mobile internet-enabled device.
This website parallels the physical intervention in lower Manhattan, and explores the notion of "site" as both location and information such as the project's process, localized widgets, street history and visiting traffic statistics among others.
