Following the ARRIVALS exhibition, Videotage is pleased to present ‘DEPARTURES’, a live sound performance by our current artist-in-residence Marco De Mutiis featuring sound artist Paul Yip. By using various set up of microphones, effects and software programming, the artists simply transforms ARRIVALS (a kinetic installation re-engineered from an old analogue split-flap departure board) into a unique sound instrument.

The live performance will feature a dialogue between the artists and the ARRIVALS artificial intelligence system. By mixing the original sound of the installation and the ”Transformed Sound” by the effects, the unique pure acoustic sound and the electro-acoustic artificial sound will echo into a special digitanalogue symphony.

The communication between these two very different counter parts present a language that merges a variety of mediums, such as text, memory, computer coding, acoustic and electronic sound, giving the audience a unique experience.
