Martin Howse: 'The Dark Interpreter'
Friday 27 February
14:00 - 14:30
Paradiso, Main Hall
Martin Howse
The domain of electromagnetics is conceived as a dark, invisible other, a conspiracy of unseen fields and forces, yet this domain embraces all light. Howse’s lecture-performance will attempt a high frequency, electric modulation of the human voice as light passed through a crystal, uniting deep earth currents and atmospheric signals with vocal bone- and tongue fragility. The lecture will bring to light a new technological animism, based on the history and physical science of electricity.

The Earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, but is now also shrouded in all kinds of anthropogenic radiation. The electromagnetic footprint of human activity on Earth is enormous. All of this radiation is invisible and usually inaudible. More and more artists are beginning to explore various forms of radation in their work. The panel is moderated by Nik Gaffney.
