Shadow Switch

The presence and absence of a signal leaves a memory trace. Sometimes this memory becomes bigger than the event itself, as its echo carries our impression of it.

When a signal breaks, the awareness of its function, medium and its context emerges. In this workshop transitions (endings, beginnings and re-commencement) are explored through an analogue switch.

Through a small module, that alters the output of music player, we will create a “fluid gate” that questions our uses of music technology.

Participants can bring, if they have:

• media player with jack audio output

• headphones with 3.5 mm jack

The kit of electronic components is included.

Gabriela Gordillo is a media artist reflecting on time perception. She builds media interfaces that metaphorically interweave cognitive experiences to draw a subjective lens in everyday life. Her practice is entangled trans-disciplinary settings, where play and improvisation have a fundamental role.
