Name of the composition in three acts made by John Cage in 1952. The score of the composition was given the instruction to the performer not for the whole length of the song that consists of three acts ( 30'' + 2'33'' + 1'40''), the duration of which it is four minutes and thirty-two seconds. In the author's intention, the composition it was supposed to consist of the sounds that were released from the environment where it was performed, giving an idea of the importance of the environment itself. The musical performance which John Cage had experimented is replicated by the artists through an installation that gives prominence to the sense of sight, associating sound deafness with visual blindness. Through the multimedia work, both artists show present a video of the duration of 4'33'' not perceptible to the naked eye but only by means of a polarized filter. The image exists but is not perceived. The viewer participates in an experience that ames to make him reflect on the idea os assimilation of the image we are accustomed to.
The work thus configures as an attempt of education to the perception of the assumptions in watching and seeing, like of hearing and listening.
