HECKER LECKEY SOUND VOICE CHIMERA Set for 'Sunday Sessions' at MoMA PS1, 11/22
MoMA PS1 will continue its "Sunday Sessions" series with Florian Hecker and Mark Leckey in the US Premiere of "Hecker leckey Sound Voice Chimera" on November 22nd at 3 PM.
Collaborators since 2010, acclaimed sound experimentalist Florian Hecker and multidisciplinary artist Mark Leckey are both interested in the exploration of sound and its material effects. Hecker Leckey Sound Voice Chimera brings together two discrete solo works to form a mutant configuration in which Hecker decomposes, modulates, and re-synthesizes the vocal track from Leckey's 2010 performance piece GreenScreenRefrigeratorAction (for which Leckey intoned the inner monologue of a black Samsung fridge) and Hecker's own 3 Channel Chronics installation from that same year. The resulting work is a multivalent, tri-part hybrid in which heavily distorted fragments of Leckey's narrative intersperse Hecker's synthetic textures and fidgety tonal patterns.
James Hoff often engages with culture and technology through parasitic and disruptive interventions. For this event he joins Norwegian artist TCF to present a new work -- a sonification and visualization of the hidden traffic of cell phone signals, radio waves, wifi signals, and electromagnetic fields.
M.E.S.H. (James Whipple) and Aleksandra Domanovi present an expanded visual and audio performance of their recent collaborative installation.
Bill Kouligas performs a live refactoring of music from PAN, specifically focusing on the artists involved with the event and drawing connections between radically disparate releases. Examining the role of the label as an artist-run initiative, Kouligas filters the works of label artists through his own creative practice.
In conjunction with this event Harm van der Dorpel streams content from, Deli Near PAN Franchise (Autosurfing), which maps decaying actor-network theory visuals across the VW Dome.
