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.  

 

About the Artist 

Angelina Almanza holds a BFA in New Media from Toronto Metropolitan University.  Her work combines art and technology to create immersive experiences - blending music theory, visual art, design, storytelling, and creative coding around current themes of interest. This variety of techniques encourages "play" in her workflow - experimenting with mediums to explore their potential for subversion or exploitation while developing diverse production and fabrication skills.
