Excerpt of the performance accompanying the sound art installation 'Sonic Garbage'.

The sound objects used at the installation are manipulated live in order to create a time dependent composition in contrast to the choroechoic (space dependent) one of the installation, thus providing extra appreciation of sound objects which are usually discarded as garbage from phonographic work during the editing process.

Sonic Garbage is a piece of recycling unwanted audio materials.

Sonic Garbage (performance excerpt)

Luc Messinezis is an artist and researcher working across sound, installation and performance. His practice oscillates between aural awareness, philosophy and the humanities. Coming from a scientific background, he changed direction toward creative practices and now holds an MA in sound arts awarded by the University of the Arts London and a PhD for his research on Aural Simulacra at the Ionian University. Luc reads the act of listening as an extrovert gesture of expression and tends to ‘mediumizing’ the audience by placing them at the epicenter of the work. He has presented a multitude of artworks across the globe with notable activities including among others his presentations at Ars Electronica 2020 (AT), minus20degree Festival 2020 (AT), Primarolia Festival 2019 (GR), ADAF 2015/2021 (GR) and Ethnographic Terminalia 2011 (CA). He was a resident at AIR – Niederosterreich (AT) in 2010 and he was nominated for the ScreenGrab7 2015 Media Award (AU) for his work ‘The Modern book of Cynics’.
