5 5

5 5 is a proposal of performative intervention that takes place in the everyday of an exhibition. The radio transmitters are used during the intervention to think about their possible uses as a device that can modulate the presence of security guards and visitors in the same space. In the context of the communication used in security and surveillance practice, some codes are used to transmit the message in a quick and accurate manner – an important aspect of this profession. 5 5 means "congratulations" and, in the context of safeguarding a workplace, it is used to inform you that nothing has gone wrong and that everything is fine at your workplace. As a performative intervention, 5 5 intends to change the exhibition space using radio transmitters as an interface, implementing a communication practice different from the usual used in security and surveillance profession. There will be long and imprecise communications, dialogs about the field of art and its developments within the specific context of the exhibition space, as well as other noises. The radios will be at maximum volume to enable an amplified listening.

Within this field of discussion, the proposal seeks to think about radio transmitters and the role of communication in this practice as elements that produce potential tensions within cultural and arts spaces, bringing their visibilities and invisibilities into the debate.
