Rudolfo Quintas, PT


‘Burning the Sound.v2’ is a sound performance about the nature of rituals, power and control. It uses fire from a regular fire lighter to subvert patterns of rhythm, exorcising the sound as a spiritual strategy. Fire was probably the first technology to exist and is knowledge based and ritualistic. Within ‘Burning the Sound’ digital, new media and ancestral technologies fuse to question contemporary strategies of invisible control. Since later 2007, Quintas, has been creating and developing the performance, which aims to push the ritualistic primitivism, gesture and body to technological mediated computer sound performances.

Date/Time: 21.06/21.30
