WITH INSTALLATIONS BY:
Falling By Akari Komura and Kate Gorman
video + sound
A short film featuring shifting colors created by overlapping pieces of fabric by visual artist Kate Gorman, accompanied by an audio component composed by Akari Komura accessed via QR code. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in a layered stream of vocal sounds, and align their breathing with the evolving sonic textures and colors.
La Memoria es un Pájaro / Memory is a BirD by Francisco Eme
sound installation
A sound installation composed of electronically modified field recordings, woven into a sonic poem built around symbols of death, birds, family, fog, and circles. Inspired by an old, fading family photo—a ghostly image that offers a fleeting glimpse of memory and a hazy link to the past—this piece reflects on the fluid nature of recollection. Placed in the transitional space of a hallway leading to the performance hall, the installation invites listeners to contemplate how musical sounds evolve over time, much like how memories become more abstract and distant with passing years.
PERSON, PLACE OR THING by division of labor
PERFORMANCE ART
During the performance, willing audience participants are interviewed at a workstation and asked a series of questions about a person, place or thing. That information is anonymously run through a human resource filter team to extrapolate relevant data. That data is then sent to a vocal-performance team located near the collection site. The vocal-performance team interprets the information and uses it in audio performances, noises, and soundbites. This cycle of interview, extrapolation, transformation, and vocal output will run for the duration of the event.
La TEJEÉ By Haydeé Jiménez
video + sound
La TEJEÉ weaves a visual narrative in the present, past and future, in the city of Tijuana, that embraces people, migrants and friends, through images, spaces and sounds. An exploration of the artistic and sound practice of Haydeé Jiménez, who through her vibroacoustic sessions calibrates the time machine of various characters who cross her path, in her nettnett studio, located in that city. Experimental sounds, space, the city, ancestral medicinal knowledge and urban activism come together to heal the border in this short film that is more community science than fiction. A Static Discos, nettnett and Tesoro Audiovisual production.
MORE PERFECT by Joe Cantrell
video + sound
This piece is a sonic connection to the written history of the efforts of working musicians to organize labor unions on their own behalf. Video and audio recordings of historical documents related to musicians unions being read are manipulated into rhythmic and auditory patterns.
