See Through
sound installation, wood, silicone, stone, pressure sensors
A collaboration between Alex Scobie and Fatmeh
2024


"See Through" is an immersive sound installation that redefines the concept of touch and interaction with materials. The installation combines wood, silicone, stone, and pressure sensors to create a dynamic soundscape that responds to the participant's touch.

Drawing on the concept of intra-action—a term coined by Karen Barad to describe the dynamic interplay of forces and materials—this installation challenges traditional notions of interaction. Intra-action suggests that agency is not an inherent property of individuals but emerges through the entanglement of materials and forces. In "See Through," the touch of the participant does not merely activate the soundscape but becomes a part of a continuous exchange of energy and influence.

The soundscape, shaped by the participants' touch, creates a living composition that reflects the continuous intra-actions at play. This installation challenges conventional separations between the observer and the observed, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of material agency.

SEE THROUGH ()

Toda tu esencia destilada y fantasmal en mi cuarto

llenando todas las esquinas

con demasiada suavidad y amor te escucho en esos bordes

cero pretensión , vulnerabilidad que quema

pura intimidad

intimidad pura

ja



Simpleza que vislumbra , eso que constantemente empuja los bordes

inyectándome es interludio en reloop

un poco de luz sobre lo que realmente es

abrazito primordial

el refrain/estribillo de los pajaros jalandote al territorio que es


Desde la penumbra surge La Hora Azul una barrera suave como burbuja de luz protectora. 

Un espacio de amor y ternura.



El Album se presento como parte de ORIMONTE, la exposición que resulto de la Primera Residencia en el espacia de arte Casita Wichirula en La Paz , Bolivia. Un trabajo de varios meses entre varios seres. Buscando entenderse y desentenderse . Ya no se trata de seguir hablando, sino de escuchar mejor, sentir mejor, y con suerte llegar a saber qué es lo que necesitamos.

—————



All your distilled and ghostly essence in my room

filling all the corners

With too much softness and love I hear you on those edges

zero pretension, vulnerability that burns

pure intimacy

pure intimacy

ha



Simplicity that glimpses, that which constantly pushes those edges

injecting this interlude in reloop

a little light on what it really is

primordial hug

the refrain / chorus of the birds pulling you to the territory that is



From the gloom arises La Hora Azul a soft barrier like a bubble of protective light. A space of love and tenderness.



The Album was presented as part of ORIMONTE, the exhibition that resulted from the First Residence at the Casita Wichirula art space in La Paz, Bolivia. A work of several months between several beings. Seeking to understand and disengage. It's not about talking anymore, but about listening better, feeling better, and hopefully getting to know what it is that we need.

HIDING/ ESQUIVO(30min)
An A/V performance (excerpt)eng sub presented through distorted imagery of canyon landscapes, where colorful sediments, grains, rocky surfaces, eternal echoes and shifting scales conflict perceptual cues and evoke a rather spectral perception of the cortex of the Earth. 
Cracks on the surface give way to new paths for rivers to coexist further in ongoing acceleration. Evolving, falling intensively in between wounded, eroded, stratified Diasporas. Immersion in the landscape’s metabolism, as means of lore and political positioning. Reception of information in the midst of corrosive and denaturalizing multiplicity, where space modulates discourse through sensing. 
This walking intends to liquify the visual-sound in a syntenestic feedback loop as a translation of the ground’s drive.
