Tenderpixel is pleased to present Eric Ayotte and Etan Ilfeld’s first collaboration, Breaking Point, which explores the meta and microcosmic synthesis of computer-creativity, mathematics, optics, art history and painting. Breaking Point relates to riots, tear gas and general societal conflicts within a landscape: At any given point in society when equality or injustice reaches a certain point there is a universal language or action that occurs.

Visited The New Gallery yesterday with a friend and encountered this fascinating work by Myriam Bessette and Robin Dupuis.

The audio installation Conciliabule (2006-2009), a collective work in progress, explores the nature of the acoustic object and the transmission of complex voice messages through an electric signal. Starting with voice samples, the artists have filtered out all references except for very low inaudible frequencies. The almost silent audio installation creates its own materiality in the form of vibrations that become visible on the speakers. It isn’t the captured voice whispering in the visitor’s ear, but the quivering of the device that animates the piece. The multi-track work invites visitors to perambulate through an auditory visual architecture and to enter into a conciliabule with the materiality of sound.

Conciliabule is at The New Gallery until August 1
