Steps that define us and betray us, warn us or disorientate us, are imposing or surprising, steps that are provoking or silent, steps like keys on keyboards… An electronic profile of human steps. For ten days and during different times of the day, an in situ observation and systematic documentation of this activity in the interior spaces of the Old Jesuit Monastery and the exterior space of the mazy alleys of Ano Syros took place. By intensifying the possibilities of the footsteps, I used a variety of handy materials that I casually put in designated points of these two spaces. The sound performance "Behind The Obvious Sound" was presented at the Monastery in July of 2018 before closing the Sounding Paths 2018 residency.

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’. As a researcher Luc has presented his work in many international conferences, and has authored several publications. Finally, he is affiliated with the Ionian University’s Department of Audio and Visual Arts and he is an active member of the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Association and the Hellenic Society for Acoustic Ecology.
