Ex Silens - Trailer

Excerpts from 70 minute performance.

The piece invites audiences into a radically alternative sensorium, a perceptual place where the “normal” does not exist. Here they encounter an otherwordly, ingenuous creature and a bare bones, posthuman totem. With the audience as accomplices, the creature and the totem touch and fuse with one another, entering a material, sonic, and conceptual feedback.

Tender and extreme at once, Ex Silens is a ritual of sensory reorganization. An audiovisual composition experienced through eight subwoofers, an ambisonic speaker system and a rig of interactive lights produce trance-inducing seismic waves, while a choreography of touch, caresses and improvised interactions unites audience and performer in a strange and engrossing intimacy.

Cochlear implants and AI hearing algorithms are extracted from their capitalist black box, subverted and turned into sonic organs with their own agencies. They respond to the creature’s movement, mingle with the public and amplify sounds from muscles, heart and blood to physically diffuse them through the bodies of audience.
