Programme opening – an exhibition by ::vtol:: (Moscow).
One of the most striking features of ::vtol:: oeuvre – the physicality and visuality in the deployment of sound. Both of these terms should point towards the ‘materialization’ of the process of sound making, achieved with the help of contemporary technology. Digitized information of spatial coordinates (for example, position of an object in relation to X Y Z axes), oscillations of the magnetic field, or feedback between a speaker and a microphone – the sounds generated with the help of such input at the same time are also visual, ‘material’ systems. In other words, there is a connection between the physical movement of an object and the sound generated by this very movement.
Morozov’s work is non-linear, complex and interactive. Therefore, one should not expect to find a linear economy of action-counteraction. Aforementioned magnetism, feedback, or digitized information converted to sound in ::vtol:: work is also supplemented by gravity, resonance, modulation, cyclicality, and other ideas which are borrowed from acoustics and other branches of science. For example, the artist defines Stupa, a piece exhibited at Post gallery, as a compound pendulum which oscillates between the states of inner mechanical resonance and equilibrium.
In the context of CORPI SONORI the exhibition by ::vtol:: is important as it shares kinship with such visual arts as sculpture and installation. Such take on sound as an artistic medium will be a great compliment to the variety of expressions presented in live performances.
