Liquid Architecture present performances of synaesthetic excess from MSHR (US), Xenosine, Romy Seven Fox & Wet Kiss, with Sirasith Visuals.
Approaching the transmutational forces of electronics through customised audio and visual interfaces, these artists combine cyborg articulations with leaky bodies to gesture towards a quantum collapsing the boundaries of sensory inputs/outputs. High density lighting and sounds are utilised as transport devices to fracture expected realities. Note: strong strobing effects will be used as part of these performances.
MSHR, Birch Cooper and Brenna Murphy collaboratively builds and explores sculptural electronic systems that primarily take the form of performances and installations. Since forming in 2011, their performances revolve around analog synthesizers and computer music systems of their own design, played in feedback with lights and movement. Their installations involve generative electronic systems embedded in immersive sculptural arrays, using interaction as a variable. Feedback is a fundamental structure in MSHR's practice. Their practice is a self transforming cybernetic entity with its outputs patched into its inputs, the resulting emergent form serving as its navigational system. MSHR emerged from the art collective Oregon Painting Society in Portland, Oregon. Since then, they have lived in Portland and New York, and recently without a home base, following residencies and projects.
Xenosine is project by Melbourne based artist Vijay Thillaimuthu which centres the manifestation of sound in visual mediums. Concerned with the exposition of electronic sound synthesis through visualisation, Xenosine provides all encompassing multi-sensory works and live experiences driven by heavy rhythmic progression by means of modular synthesiser and theremin controller.
Romy Seven Fox’s work primarily deals with exploring identity and body, protective witchcraft and navigating queer spaces as a trans-woman. Wet Kiss is Brennan Olver’s free welding project which flips noise and pop into unexpected but intimate textures. They both work together for 3CR’s Sweet Dreams program and run the Fakest Gamer Girl podcast, and recent elegantly brutal sonic explorations.
Sirasith Visuals. Siri is an experimental artist exploring the relationship between visual effects and sound through fractals, glitch, sacred geometry and symbols that contain the meaning of cosmic force and human belief.
