æther

Ivan Andre Paulsen, Itziar Markiegi

a chaotic and dynamical sonic sculpture of the piksel-exhibition,æther gives voice to the collective fields of electromagnetic radiation emanated from both the other installations and itself.

it is the collective unconscious of the exhibition, a map of the room and its occupants encrypted as sound, a thinly veiled and acerbic commentary on surveillance, a technological game of chinese whispers, a way to appropriate the work of others and make it our own.


By filling the exhibition space with a diversity of devices – either modified, open hardware or regular consumer electronics used in irregular ways – capable of transforming EMFs to sound, we propose to exhibit an audible exhibition of the activities in the whole exhibition.
