Transcription of a conversation about art and trade as a poetics of relation

A performance involving the technologies of language, emotions and digital input-output systems.
Top Club, Resilience Residence Serrinha do Alambari, 2017

this is a performance about translating the artworks produced during this residence and my thinking around them into speech and text. this results in a more or less cohesive text about my work and your impressions about it. this performance is limited to me and you. i kindly ask you to type what i’m saying as i introduce my works and answer your question, in turn i will also type what you’re saying. Also, this performance includes the possibility to taste Supergood Jucai, a tasty fruit product made here in Serrinha do Alambari.

route to capelinha, the earth eroded, a hill. A gap. In the gap there was a fence hanging in the air. What a strange sight..site…sigh… the consequence of the residence. Resilience…the quality to adapt. To bounce back. A great way of existing. The fence. Nature and tech at the same time.

video and audio, a recording of the Dawn chorus, before the sun rises all the animals are awake and they sing a special song. From quiet and dark to an emerging sound rising, the blue, the song coming out of nothing. In the daz there is already a sound. From the Dawn chorus, a new song emerges.#

A recording from the perspective of as tree. What would a tree with ears would hear…a conversation, a transcription, paper in the pool, documents in still photos. Is this the techosphere Human activity as consequence of easth …the earth# the separation between human made and nature concrete-structures-pipes-roads- and the atmosphere above us. Fortz interviews around the technosphere. In the atmosphere Nature and humans is permanently negotiated in a community like this Introducing the conversation of the technosphere into this collective conversation What does transcription sound. how does it change the conversation if the text is transcribed bz other people or if the transcription is listened what text can look like outside printed and fixed form

loves many parts - some more than others loves the discussion around technoculture and technosphere. intrigued by how we discuss the “techno-“ and its various conversations. it seemed like a class or seminar. the sound of voice in a loop on repeat made me curious to see if the loop/repetition was the meaning of the conversation. as i was listening to nature, the dawn chorus, at some moment a bird was singing, after 30 seconds i was thinking “is it repeating itself?” – is it the same thing with the conversation loop again? our technologies are similar. who is this made by, this repetition? it was the bird. (b explains reason for loop in transcription tech)

when i was a teenager, without internet, i loved music and many albums didnt come with lyrics. on the turntable in her room, i learned english by transcribing queen, the who, the doors – their lyrics in a notebook, with a lot of misunderstandings… this is poetry though, not the literal translation of sound in transcription. sometimes there were blank spaces for words i couldn’t find in the dictionary. i had a cat called freddy mercury. i learned “tie a mother down” – all my friends called me the day he ceased. i had all their albums.

“my alter ego is a diva”.

a potential book title – people who know me know i have this alter ego.
