Prácticas Territoriales (visitantes con oídos), a series of interventions by foreign sound artists on the island of Tenerife
Laboratorio de Acción – TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes
Curator: Juan Matos Capote
November 30-December 14, 2018
LAND-ING is a multi-channel sound installation by Barbara Held and Daniel Neumann that was developed exclusively from recordings they had made interacting with the landscape of the island of Tenerife during a two-week residency. During this time they undertook field trips to seek out acoustically interesting terrains and places. At those sites Held used her flute and flute-like instruments, and Neumann played test tones (pink noise, sine waves etc.) to articulate specific acoustic phenomena and to sonically relate to the land. Landscape becomes something very different when approached from an aural perspective.
The project was part of the series “Prácticas Territoriales” curated by Juan Matos Capote and shown at TEA, Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (Santa Cruz, Dec 2018). The multi-channel installation became a new acoustic place, algorithmically meandering through the different recordings and different places.
