Noisehead, performed in piksel 2007, Bergen, Norway
We have worked bringing together street painting and noise
music.
We feel there is a relation between the two dimensions, a
relation that is based on the body. Painting and noise meet in a bodily
dimension. We would like to reach exhaustion, or the moment where the
two
natures blend. We think of it as a metaphore of sexuality and of
what we'd
like to call the end of gender.
Zosen, has been developing street art
since 1989 with a strong focus on DIY, social movements and animal
rights.
pueblo, was born as a noiser and through her serpentine
trajectory she is experimenting with sound, writing and circuit
building.
Together we are developing a DIY experience to make
customized
and wearable artifacts. An example of this is the noisehead, a mask to
perform electronic noise.
The mask as a fetichist object brings up
the
subject of personality and freedom. We wonder what are the inner prisons
that keep us slaves of prejudices. Gender is a subject that shows this
problem and we look for the means to liberate everything we can
possibly become. This
will obviously generate noise since our nature is made of half natures,
bastard zones, half cooked personalities and a lot of social patterns
that were slowly embeded in our learning.
Through the making of the
noisehead we reflect upon this issues but in a way we don't mean to give
answers, we would like to perform the questions and the answers. We are
part of historical processes that are embodied in our noisy natures. We
want to
perform the multiplicities we are made from.
