Music for sixteen - 2017, is the beginning of ARGO projetc. It is a music installation launched in June-2017. It will last Jacopo’s lifetime. Jacopo Baboni Schilingi wears a special device conceived to measure his breathing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, based on technology developed by David Kuller (through his company MyAir). A dedicated computer and algorithm constantly monitor the incoming data: the length of Jacopo’s breaths, total volume of his last 10 seconds to 1 minute of breathing, breath rate, rib cage expansion and compression, etc. The data transmitted and interpreted live from the device, creates a symbiosis between technology and the most fundamental, intimate process of a human’s life: breathing. For the first time, this device allows us to witness and comprehend an existential version of the present. Converting this into semantic functions, it generates endless music. Jacopo Baboni Schilingi is particularly involved with projects that bridge the human body and the world of machines. Argo is one part of the human-body-centric artistic research of Jacopo Baboni Schilingi.
