DescriptionThrough this iteration, the electroacoustic sculptures, titled Uróboros, built with found
materials and acoustic feedback circuits, are used as electromechanical oscillators in durational performances lasting one hour. The sculptures start transducing sound into vibration through the material structures, transforming found materials into artworks and creating feedback loops between the bodies resonating between the architecture, the audience, and themselves. Through the performances, the audience is invited
to touch and vibrate with sculptures and play them as instruments, making touch a vital sense for perception in this performance, further challenging hierarchies of listening, and inquiring into the relationship between materiality and sound
