Resonance
OPENING RECEPTION

InterAccess, 7 – 9PM
GALLERY HOURS
January 15 – February 15, 2025
Tuesday – Saturday, 11 – 6PM
An emergent polyphonic experience, Resonance combines ‘listening’ with computational actions, allowing for an experience based on the electronic performer’s whims for a temporary creation of harmony or dissonance. This, in turn, leaves the decision of noise versus music in the hands of the participant, bringing to light the internal biases that come with sound-based experiences via the dominant Western European sound, and the biases we impose upon technology. The basis of Resonance is inspired by a vocal exercise the artist practices with the same name. Visitors are invited to become part of the experience by immersing themselves physically within the auditory landscape.
Angelina Almanza is the 2024 winner of the InterAccess Media Arts Prize.
