Wolfgang Gil (CV) is a New York-based Venezuelan sound artist who creates sonic environments through the use of computer-generated sound and multichannel speaker systems. Gil’s aesthetic emphasizes the idea of a sonic environment and its physical correlation to sound, architecture, and audience. More specifically, he is interested in the transformation of sound as a direct consequence of architecture, as well as how audience members transform the sound by their physical presence inside the sonic environment (more…)

CODE highlights performing artists whose work involves programming computers. From austere, textural compositions to tightly coupled audio visual experiences, CODE will leave you “tumbling down a rabbit hole” of sound. Documentation of this performance will include multi-channel audio, twitter posts with the hashtag #AbattoirCode, and a Github repository for each artist.

Diaphanspectrum represents a collective effort to explore the mind’s ability to interpret different sensorial stimuli as one, resulting in a unified multi-sensorial experience. Employing distinct mediums indistinctly, this sculptural installation includes computer generated, multichannel sound components as well as generative video. Beams of light shoot through a complex of fiberglass structures, creating a series of reflected projections, organically transformed through their display. While viewing this work, visitors will experience a synesthetical state- their sensory perceptions melting into one another, immersing them in the sculpture’s audiovisual output.

The result of a yearlong shared investigation between sound artist Wolfgang Gil and video artist Justin Riley, Reactive Homeostasis, generates interactive conversations through technology. Together the artists are developing an audio-visual system where both mediums are interconnected in a continuous feedback loop. This constant state of feedback between mediums imprints a chaotic character into the system, which becomes a third agent operating on its own; a digital Frankenstein monster. Searching for a stable equilibrium, Gil and Riley attempt to control the ratio of tension and release throughout their multi-media dialogue in order to keep the ‘monster’ within the desired boundaries while improvising an exchange of computer-generated sound and generative video immersing the audience in an environment of organic transforming projections and multichannel sound. Ultimately, the performance will push the boundaries of collaboration between human and machine, through a synthesis of audio and visuals.
