HErTZ
HERTZ
For trumpet, electronics, video and sensor interaction
Any live performance deals with two human sensorial stimuli (sound and visual) and two cultural embodiments (performers and audience). Whether they progress in balance or more importance is given to one or another, they are without doubt present and build the artistic experience from within.
Produced by LOOS Foundation, the installation with live performance HERTZ is based in the wave nature of both phenomena and the unique possibilities given by Science - through technology - for Art to blur the relation Audience/Performer. A dialogue between the nature of electronics and acoustic sounds, composed and improvised, fixed video and images triggered by the audience (through IOM motion sensors), and the very nature of performer and spectators, is developed using as creative starting point the common feature of Light and Sound travelling as waveforms with different and special properties. Scientists as artists and artists as scientists creatively walking through the continuous dual existence of knowledge and mysterious new paths.
Since its performance in late January 2020, the collaborators in HERTZ saw the world change drastically. Its live performance with 1600 attendees, who answered enthusiastically to the premiere, happened before a virus changed our relation to live concerts and (unfortunately tragically to many families) to life itself. HERTZ saw a world that is only a memory for a whole generation. A new normal (which confronts how artists can relate to Technology) questions the very nature of a performance, but also brings doors to be further explored. True to its path of many years, LOOS Foundation takes these questions as a core challenge, uncovering possibilities to always keep its connection with the audience and community, restructuring ideas to re-invent it, believing that an Artist is always dwelling in the fates that each human greets on every day’s new awake.
