Reinvention of Nature (2013)
Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm
Installation with PA system, headphones, oscilloscope, aquarium, microphone, video camera, live sound and video projection.
The idea is that a reinvention of nature is necessary. A nature that refuses to accept a difference between technological and natural forces, that refuses to accept a given difference between human life and animal life, between mechanics and organics. By researching precisely these issues she wants to challenge Nature, creating it anew. Not out of critique but because this kind of artistic experimentation is the only way through which, and now she refers to Samuel Beckett, another world is revealed.
The kinetic sculptures are programed to produce movement and sound randomly at abnormal speeds. Some of them also have diodes that produce light when they are activated. At the back of the aquarium there is a microphone that records the sound of the animals. The signal is fed in to a computer where it triggers synthesizers and a number of vocoders that produces a musical rendition of the sound of the sculpture. This signal is then sent to a PA system, headphones and an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope and the actual Aquarium are both filmed and superimposed on top of each other via a videomixer.
