The main idea of this piece is to amplify the voice in the performance space through a live sound system. The sonic power of speech in an acoustic and corporeal practice that uses the sound of languages in an attempt to transform the expressive experience that operates within our communicative processes into other possible configurations of meaning.
Encounters of real and invented languages overlap in meanings, sounds, vocals, consonants, etc., in diverse forms of voices, produced by a microphone that is amplified and processed live. The performer’s voice and the reproduction of that voice are taking place as the performance occurs.
This project is an invitation to visualize the movements of language as a flow of sonic processes in space and in the body.

Francisco Marín (CL/IT) lives in Santiago de Chile, where he works in visual art, performance and pop music. As an artist he focuses on compositions that explore the relationship between words, images and matter. Using different kinds of media, his pieces speculate about a material reality of language. From his paintings he unearths messages – either in written language or in abstract, figurative shapes – that change kinetically as we approach or move away from them. Accordingly, the science fiction he writes functions as narrative imaginary, where different layers of meaning accumulate to form new realities. He has presented his artwork in Chile, Spain and Nigeria.
