2 DIANA DUTA & JULIA E. DYCK

“Wave Debris”

Wave Debris takes place during sunset, a collaborative performance at-a-distance which modulates the frequencies emitted by the sun at this time. Taking as a starting point Elisabeth Alexander’s research in the field of radio astronomy, Diana Duta and Julia E. Dyck attempt to illuminate other phenomena which are always present yet not always perceived; phenomena that mediate, disclose and dissolve; that dust. The modulated frequencies are blended with field recordings, feedback and several readings of Ron Siliman’s Sunset Debris (2014).

Diana Duta works with visual, aural, and nearly-verbal language through performance, sound composition, and writing. Her work relies gently on the translation and re-interpretation of existing materials for generating new meaning. Duta’s most recent project ‘Jambes’ is a recording studio commissioning new work by artists interested in experimenting with sound and voice.

Julia E. Dyck is an artist and radio producer working in performance, composition, installation, and transmission. She’s interested in the possible relations between the body, consciousness, and technology.
