More about Gesture & Synthesis
The discipline of creation or engineering involves a navigation along a fissure. Such a space becomes even more apparent when logical-mathematical structures are instrumentalised in the construction (creation) of artworks.
The autonomy and polarity between the disciplinary space that forms signification, and the discipline that signifies form, produces an insoluble phenomenological gap between the vectors that point to a work and the vectors that emerge from it.
Gesture and Synthesis, which is placed and developed in a hybrid space between performance and installation, music and new media art, is thus a piece that openly works on such a fissure by exploring the tooling of logical-mathematical structures under the guise of materiality and plasticity - which is to say that this piece, like any other, is about what it is. The objects presented in this installation are an integral part of the performative space. Gesture and Synthesis is a commission from Supernova Ensemble.
Diogo Tudela is a researcher, School of the Arts teacher and programmer focused on critical software, simulation practices, model theory, geometry, diagrams and mechatronics. His work has addressed technologies of vocal synthesis and manipulation as tacit retro-bioengineering.
Created in 2022, Supernova Ensemble is an artistic collective dedicated to innovative music in the areas of performing, new media and sound arts. With a diverse artistic and musical background, the group aims to build a world in which new sound ideas flow freely across genres and media, including music, theatre, dance, video, electroacoustic, chamber music, sound installations, etc. Supernova Ensemble is part of the Resident Artist project of Circular Associação Cultural.
