RECAP DAY 2 - DORTMUND
This festival’s first Saturday was all about performing sounds as the result of complex interaction. The day at the storyLAB kiU in Dortmund started off with the lecture talk „Chemical Calls of Care II“.
Like our sense of hearing, our sense of smell cannot be controlled which results in the involuntary reception and interpretation of what we perceive. Looking at consequences for an artistic approach Tim Löhde and Yolanda Uriz Elizalde gave insights into the perception of smell and how different scents may have different sounds.
Later on, Yolanda’s performance „Transitory Presences“ showed the influence of sound to an incense stick. The depth of the bass and the projection of the dying embers drew one into a struggle against extinction.
In “Housewarming II,” Hye Young Sin took us on a journey through the sounds of imitation, recreating two experiences. In her acoustic greenhouse we heard the chirping of birds, the whistling of trains and nature being created by funny little gadgets like recorders or bird wistles filled with water.
TinTin Patrone showed an improvisation, taking the „idiosyncratic“ in her partner very serious. In a humorous, provocative and thought-provoking performance featuring a remote-controlled electric children’s wheelchair, she challenged us not only to reflect on AI but also on our expectations regarding our interpersonal relationships.
A night that challenged expectations on sound and ourselves, and was very intense both physically and atmospherically.
