Francisca Rocha Gonçalves, a professor at School of Arts with a PhD in Science and Technology of the Arts, is inaugurating an immersive sound installation today at the Gulbenkian Center for Modern Art, entitled 'Interferências no Tejo' (Interferences in the Tagus).

To mark the opening of her new installation in the Sound Room, the artist has created a performance in which light and sound cause changes in ice sculptures.

'Interferências no Tejo' is a large-scale installation that invites the public to confront the effects of noise pollution on the natural environment, a phenomenon that is often ignored. The work integrates spatial soundscapes and sub-bass vibrations.

This project was carried out during the Art & Science Residency A Call to the Sea, which took place at the Vasco da Gama Aquarium in Oeiras in 2024, as part of the European project Bauhaus of the Seas Sails, with CAM - Gulbenkian Modern Art Center as a cultural partner.
