Simultaneous performance of two works by Charles Kwong (Space-Time Vessels) and Camilo Mendez (Gego Archipelago) performed simultaneously at Zürich and Hong Kong in the framework of the conference In Time? Encounters in Temporality at Zurich University of the Arts and Hong Kong Baptist University, November 29, 2024.
“Gego Archipelago” (Camilo Mendez) is a performance created from the assembly of modular sound materials in space-time, using modified instruments and found objects that through repetition and constant change create and ever-expanding archipelago of multi-layered connections.
“Time-Space Vessels” (Charles Kwong) will contribute to the telematic soundscape with an improvised set centred around synthesisers, shakuhachi, and self-built instruments that manipulate wireless audio feedback. The performance will focus on exploring the performativity of feedback as a time-space phenomenon, and an audio simulation of a theorised time dilation.
Both approaches are performed simultaneously, responding to the sounding affects and effects that migrate through the net.
