Exhibition: “Art and Environment”
Acousmatic writing of our ear–body. It is a map of the body that fragments itself within the urban space, intersected by substrata of the soundscape, revealing the presence of the geological, biological, technological, and anthropological realms.
The Mapa Blanco cinematophone, a kind of archaeological device, contains four navigation charts that delimit the body’s geophonies into an equal number of regions: above and below, to one side and the other, in front and behind, and the near and the distant; projected into four itineraries:
-
The sonic event grazes the air of the place. Realm of the aerial and atmospheric. Presence of the biological… biofacts, ecofacts, and artifacts.
-
The sonic event underlies and emerges from the body’s contact with the world. Presence of the anthropological, the everyday realm of the intimate and the near… anthropofacts, mentefacts, and artifacts.
-
The sonic event moves across the surfaces of the city. Presence of the technological, the urban and collective realm… artifacts.
-
The sonic event underlies and emerges from within the subsoil as sediment of processes. Presence of the geological, the tectonic and infrastructural realm… geofacts and artifacts.
