The invisible revealed: Presence, perception and noise.

Interface Cultures lädt zum Gastvortrag von Víctor Mazón Gardoqui.

The presentation introduces the methodology, praxis and recent works of Víctor Mazón Gardoqui in the field of experimental sound, amplification, electromagnetism, non-regulated transmissions and design of custom electronics. During this presentation, Víctor will present the book he recently edited "LIMEN", a dialogue with the artistic research by Mario de Vega that explores and critically addresses this sphere otherwise not accessible to human senses. The publication brings together a series of contributions and collaborations that address different aspects of the proliferation of electromagnetic signals produced by wireless telecommunication and other devices based on microwave technologies. The focus thereby lies on the discussion of their impact on human interaction as well as their implications for social and emotional exchange, their interaction with living systems within different ecologies, and biopolitical implications of governmental control over their use.

Víctor Mazon Gardoqui´s
work exposes the unheard and unseen, addressing the inaccessible and experiencing vulnerability and awareness on the viewer. Perception and altered states are key concepts on his performances and recordings, through the use of materials like sound or light, contributing to a portrait of the vibrational world.
His work materializes in three main fields: actions or site-specific performances through experimental processes, exhibitions as consequences of previous actions and collaborative works through seminars to form a communal dialog.
Since 1999 involved into experimenta techniques of media intervention through site specific actions, performances and installations in public spaces by using sound, light and custom electronics.
