TENTECHULAR DIS:PLEASURES #2: OMOTATATATATAT

Mz* Baltazar's Laboratory,         Vienna (AT), 2021

 

Solo exhibition | Interactive sound installation

 

 TENTECHULAR DIS:PLEASURES #2 continues

the ongoing series' entanglement with tentechular qualities of sound at the interface of analog and digital spaces and materialities. 

With the help of childhood fetishes of shamelessly zeitgeisty appeal (neon yellow anti-stress rubber balls), visitors were able to experience affective impressions along the fine line between comfort and discomfort, closeness and distance, body and technology.

 

 Based on formerly analog voice material, the space was filled with ever-changing generative voice patterns of SirenX that were created by using the open source programming language Pure Data (PD).

Visitors were invited to interact with the stress balls by exploring different qualities of touch.

Be it plucking, squeezing, or petting. While touching the objects,  they started a co-compositional process:  incorporated piezo microphones with selected attached materials responded to the touch with additional sounds.
