In a world that quickly forgets the past, I went back in time to the era of analog technologies to scavenge and resurrect what's been left behind. They call it "Media Archaeology": brushing off the dust from old tools from a civilization that hastily jumped into the digital world and left behind forgotten ghosts. These tools have strong personalities: they show a unique fluidity compared to their digital successors. In Celestial Harmonies I have hacked a Vectrex, a game console from the 80s, to bring it back to life as a hybrid zombie: half analog, half digital. I chose it for its vibrant beam and I hacked it so that I could draw shapes with sound. I tell a story about space geometries and harmonic ratios with Light and Sound perfectly synchronized in a simple but powerful synesthetic discourse.
