Fuzzing Signals, Fuzzing Membranes

Starting from the idea that reality is dynamically arranged by vibrations that are in constant interference, resonance and transduction, the artist guides us through an exploration of the vibratory – particularly the sonic through its aural and tactile manifestations – as an intrinsically collective medium that can activate intimate and intricate ways of relating to other media and to the world we are part of. This talk presents a resonant exploration that proposes a body of work based on the possibilities within the concept of La Membrana, an organisational conceptual apparatus and model structure that stimulates vibrational ways of being and thinking. By learning from La Membrana and implementing a series of membranal strategies, the artist intends to construct a narrative that is oscillatory in essence and that opens a number of questions around performativity and agency from a multiscalar and multiagential perspective. With no fixed point of reference or static definitions, Nicole’s presentation embraces the poetics of unintelligibility and incommensurability. Full of fuzzy instruments and techniques, this talk is charged with ambiguity and confusion as resonant mediators and translators, as apparatuses for tuning in/to our vibrational reality.
