In(Visible) Energy is an experimental site-specific installation at the famous Mies Van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona, created in collaboration with artists, scientists, and engineers. The piece explores the four fundamental forces of the universe and speculates on consciousness as a potential fifth.

The accompanying sound installation, by Sandy Davis, Júlia Pallarès, and Bernat Ginot, unfolds in three movements. Binaural frequencies guide meditative reflection; electromagnetic fields are made audible through visitor interaction; and low-frequency waves ripple through the pavilion’s pool, rendering sound physically visible. Merging architecture, physics, and sonic experimentation, In(visible) Energy reimagines perception as a force in itself.
