INAUDIBLE, INVISIBLE - AN EXPLORATION OF THE WORKS OF CHRISTINA KUBISCH

This book particularly explores Christina Kubisch's use of of the physical phenomenon of induction. A phenomenon that she discovered in the 1970s, by chance, but whose potential she quickly perceived artistic beyond the sound fact. This discovery will open up new possibilities for him possibilities in her practice, which she will be quick to explore. In particular, thanks to the development of dedicated cubes, then specific helmets for record, access these sounds inaudible to the human ear, generated by the different machines, electrical, electronic that surround us. It is also, his conception of induction as a diffusion technology, which will also allow him to develop a number of works. The other artistic gesture Christina Kubisch's strength lies in the use of simple audio cables, as a vector for this diffusion but also and above all as a medium artistic, to materialize, to give form to these works. Thus echoing, her dual training, where she already diverted a number of objects, instruments of their primary function, but also to her quality as a musician, since the sounds broadcast – often also linked to his practice of Field Recording – are composed, or are part of a journey that she has mapped for the public, in the case of an Electrical Walks. But each time, freedom is given to the person who is going to discover its facilities or its route to do a step aside, to play with these propositions, to play his propositions. more, by discovering and revealing these hidden sounds, with the Electrical Walks in particular, Christina Kubisch testifies to, questions, this growing becoming electrical of our environment, its evolution, our relationship, our technology dependence.
