The artistic research
Through an open call, HAUT and CATCH jointly curated the artist collective Mana:Group to collaborate with the inventor of The Swedish Harp Bass, Joel Illerhag.
They dive into the project No Tale No Head where they explore the relationship between the organic and the technology in a sound-borne immersive performance installation.
The sounds of The Swedish Harp Bass merge with the performers' bodies and voices, the echoes of space and the loop of the earth. The artists investigate the mutated body and the distorted in a ritual that both glorifies and degrades The Master, the body and the machine. A bad thought of decay drags the body into exhaustion through strings that bind space together but divide, occupy and maintain hierarchies.
What is this death that is not dead?
The artists
Artist collective Mana:Group with musician and inventor, Joel Illerhag.
Staging the Future of Technologies is based on the encounter between a technological practice and an artistic practice. The project focuses on creating new, equal collaborations in the encounter between art and technology, and on the evolving process. We also hope to see showcases of the collaboration for the CLICK Festival, which has the potential to grow and evolve towards a finished production subsequently.
