WAVES Playground and Table Piece

New Adventures in Sound Art is presenting two interactive works ‘WAVES Playground’ and ‘Table Piece’ by Dutch multi-disciplinary artists Petra Dubach and Mario van Horrik.

WAVES Playground is an interactive sound art work exploring standing waves through a double feedback system. The physical presence of the audience and the performers in the space creates standing waves and interference patterns, which through the feedback process produces sounds heard from the spiralling sculptures that are suspended in the air. In this work, as audience members shift around the space, the sounds also change.

Table Piece is an improvised performance performed by Dubach and van Horrik using one of NAISA's cafe tables amplified with a contact microphone to become a resonating chamber for sounds triggered by found objects, kitchen tools, their voices and small instruments.

Dubach and van Horrik are a Dutch multi-disciplinary media art duo that have been combining movement, sound and architecture in every thinkable way since 1983.

The presentation of Dutch multi-disciplinary sound art duo Petra Dubach and Mario van Horrik at NAISA is supported by a financial contribution from the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Toronto in order to increase partnerships between Canada and The Netherlands and to showcase Dutch knowledge, innovative solutions and presentations within the creative industries.

The Sunday presentation includes a free artist talk at 1:30 pm.

The presentation of WAVES Playground and Table Piece are part of the Canada-wide Culture Days festival.
