Datos Helados is an evolving series that unfolds across multiple formats:

Audiovisual installation: Argentina, Uruguay
Live Performance: Barcelona, Berlin, Tokyo

The work explores the contemporary condition of data as a symbolic entity in transit—suspended between the tangible and the intangible, between permanence and disappearance.

The excess of information does not bring clarity; it intensifies opacity, revealing a paradox of the contemporary world: the more available information grows, the less meaning is transmitted. Data blends together, meanings disintegrate and lose their purpose, saturated to the point of becoming noise, into incomprehensible signs.

Datos Helados proposes an approach to the unintelligible encoding of the multiplicity of data constantly emitted through diverse channels, critically reflecting on alienation, memory, transparency, information, and digital reality.

Within the ubiquity of data and information, supposed transparency turns into cognitive anesthesia; the digital archive reveals itself as a technological ruin, a symbolic accumulation with no clear narrative or memory. Datos Helados exists within the uncertainty of suspension and superposition.

What new ontologies emerge from our relationship with a saturated digital environment?

Datos Helados invites an introspective journey through the aesthetics of data, the fragility of digital memory, and the margins of the knowable in a present saturated with signs—where the coldness of information confronts us with our own perceptual condition.
