Downtown Madrid is equipped with a widw network (telecommunications and transport) which enables millions of citizens (including the floating populatio, the inhabitants of Madrid and foreigners, tourist and illegal inmigrants) to be in touch and to travel inside and outside their city boudaries. It is also made up of many radio-magnetic waves, mobile phones and other kinds of frequencies that generate residual information saturating the enviroment. 

This work shows a mosaic of Madrid in 500 photographs of different streets and places of the capital, taken from different points of view that, in combination with one another, generate infinite narrative possibilities. Every group of pictures features a whole in constant process of transformation through the adding-on of new photographic fragments. This constant transformation of the whole corresponds to the data flow of recorded sound from Madrid streets and from the exhibition room, producing a variable and fragmentary discourse in constant process of metamorphosis.

Based on the concept of fragmentation, this work tries to show the relationship between urban space and communication networks in order to constantly rebuild new narrative techniques. A fragmented piece and a communicational noise linked to the information and cognitive overload of current hyper communicated urban spaces. Madrid Mousaic  seeks to underline our perception of the fragmented and residual character of urban spaces and digital environments.
