Systems of Order
Me and François Dey were invited to do a performance for the opening of System of Order at GUM Studios in Torino.
We went to Torino and made a sound action inspired by Luigi Russolo's manifesto L'Arte Dei Rumori and his Intonarumori, creating, catching and becoming part of the rumors on the street. The intervention took place in the predominant immigrant area where the gallery, GUM Studios was located. We took a shopping cart from the local supermarket and went "shopping" through the trash, looking for our zero euro discount deals to make our autonomous sound mobile out of the found materials.
During our movement through the murmur we sampled the streets. As a vocal instrument we used fragments of recordings by Italian artist/lyricist Demetrio Stratos, who had amazing vocal abilities.
After our action in the public space we drove our sound mobile into the gallery, which subsequently transformed it into an installation. The next day, before we left, we dismantled our structure, put all the materials at the trash bin and took the cart back to the super market.
