Sonarama, Sonar’s resident section at the Centre d’Art Santa Mònica, has become an inescapable point of reference for new media art developments around the world. This year, Sonarama full-heartedly signs up to explore new forms of articulating cinema-related works by turning its attention to light as a seminal element of cinematic art. Sonarama 2008 presents a selection of projects in which the potential of light is the constituent core and offers a showcase of installations and performances under the explicit title Luz Y Sonido. Luz Y Sonido presents four projects: LSP, a show by Edwin Van der Heide, concert-installations by Mark Fell and the group Sonom, and an augmented sculpture by Pablo Valbuena. Dutch artist Edwin Van der Heide, who always has his on eye on taking our perceptive capacities to the limit, offers LSP - an incredible show in which a dense fog acts as a canvas for sound-controlled laser drawings, in an experience that, once seen, is hard to forget. LSP is a system of direct equivalence between sound and image, in which sound frequencies, dissonance, and phase shifts have a direct visual equivalent. Pablo Valbuena brings his impressive Augmented Sculpture installation to Barcelona. A sculpture’s volumes and boundaries are changed through the projection of various Finally, Catalan artists’ collective Sonom present an immersive projected inspired by the lighthouse at Cap de Creus in northern Catalonia, as a symbol that links the four elements of nature. The installation, produced in collaboration with Hangar, unfurls a hypnotic atmosphere of audiovisual synaesthasia in concert and installation forms. A project curated by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, Ana Ramos, Oscar Abril Ascaso and Advanced Music. |
