Signals is an immersive multi-disciplinary event connecting the ICA Archive from the 1980s to the present. Trevor Mathison and Gary Stewart will be generating waveforms and frequencies, using audio synthesis and sampling, that shape and respond to the ICA’s archive of audio and visual material.
They will be accompanied by Tansy Spinks on violin improvising on 80s music and responding to the space and montage of projected visuals intertwining multiple storylines of a narrative. A kinetic sound sculpture processing sounds from The Mall and elsewhere in the building will provide a ghostly soundtrack connecting the archive to the here and now. Signals is an audio-visual performance and collage of archival material that explores some of the connection between events that so profoundly defined and shaped the decade.
