Eduardo Politzer is a Brazilian sound designer and artist from Rio de Janeiro and today we talk to him about his digital work “Labirinto”.
This is an invitation to put your headphones on, get lost, rediscover yourself and, hopefully, dream. Politzer created a new digital space full of sounds, memories, dreams, poems and loose thoughts. As you navigate the labyrinth, clicking on hyperlinks that redirect you to different corners, you draw your own path. Sometimes the labyrinth can be deeply moving and personal, at other times it can be relaxing and fun.
We had the opportunity to navigate Eduardo's labyrinth with him, asking questions along the way. He shared with us how the process of creating the work was and what he learned from the experience.
“Put on your headphones.
Get lost, dream.
When you realize you're in a labyrinth
it's because you've been there for a long time.
But don't rush,
Perhaps you will learn something along the way.
Maybe you'll find something valuable,
Maybe you will learn something valuable about yourself,
Perhaps,
Maybe you'll wake up with a feeling,
Perhaps your brain uses this time to simulate different situations.
To discard what is of little importance.
To prepare for something in the future.
In this labyrinth you will find characters and places,
Sound and image.
Time and thought.
Metaphysics and nonsense.
I'll tell you my dreams
And then you tell me yours.
This is an ornament
A necklace that we place around the neck of time,
To see if it gets tamed.”
