Mimic Model Magnet Messenger is a live harmonic trap and information experiment between flies performed by human carriers wearing masks and tuning hearing aids.
Taking place at a nocturnal exterior or an underground interior stage; the rule of the experiment has the release of 15 females and males, and the set-up of four auditory traps emitting three single tones each: 484, 560 or 715 Hz, and a fourth one being silent. During the course of the experiment performance, these traps are rotated and repositioned as the human carriers attempt to match their own vocal trademarks to those from the traps. From another reality outside’s of man’s, an ineffable harmonic humming choral unfolds.
Program study for Feed. UV near opaque and semi-transparent piezography direct on plate, graphite ink multi-print on natural Legion Stonehenge.
Visitants to the performance are provided with nonstandard headlamps to guide themselves through their own auditory mapping across a scene unavailable to them.
