LINES OF SIGHT #1
Transmission, translation, revelation>>>the performance score
Curated by Barbara Held and Pilar Subirà
LINES OF SIGHT #1 takes inspiration from recent projects concerning the musical score; musical, sociological, biological explorations of how our minds and intuition translate and transmit music.
The compositions on this program have been realized from scores as varied as an interactive computer software controlled by a live performer, verbal instructions that undermine a pre-recorded playerpiano recording, data from a gps navigational system that converts geographical position into mathematical sounds, a text by Jacques Derrida and three superimposed similarly evanescing matrices of differently white numbers.

Alex Waterman
Interview with Alex Waterman, musician, composer, writer and curator of the exhibition Agapé.
Sound has no hidden face...
We investigate concepts of time, non-linear and non-Western, the latency of transmission or the use of acoustic and electronic delay, daily rituals and nature, a recorded slice of time and networked collaborations.
