The Common Breath Amplifier (CO.BR.A) is a circular installation of hanging funnels that function as natural loudspeakers to share human breathing and the sound of voices in the space between them. As the subjects of the installation gather and place their mouths on the mouthpiece, their breathing is amplified by the others in the space between them. All breaths can be gathered as a total sound mass that moves in the common space from body to body.   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The COBRA installation offers the ground for a collective sonic expression, and movement of air molecules, that seeks and insists on the existence of fundamental and non-negotiable conditions: the right to breathe and the right to share the same air.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>Installation: aluminum funnel, buckets, cadrons, cord<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">CLIMATE ENGINES \/ Stegi, Onassis Foundation,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Curated by: Daphne Dragona, Jussi Parrika<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Laboral, Gijon, Spain 2023<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1814,"template":"","project-category":[32],"class_list":["post-1805","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-category-objects-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kotionis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/1805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kotionis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kotionis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kotionis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kotionis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kotionis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-category?post=1805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
