By utilizing machinic scales and registers, Hecker creates environments marked at once by overwhelming complexity and vexing subtlety, where audience members are led to dwell on the outer limits of their own perceptual capacities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eResynthesizers\u003c\/i\u003e took place in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, in the Fitzpatrick-Leland House, a tri-level residence designed by Rudolf Schindler and built in 1936. Centered around a trio of compositions produced using a novel algorithm for texture synthesis, the exhibition also featured three olfactory accords selected by Marc vom Ende and Philip Kraft of Symrise, and three electrophoretic displays transmitting a libretto by Robin Mackay. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe molecular construction of sensory experience enabled by the technical manipulation and synthesis of materials emerges as a central theme of Resynthesizers. The regime of these 'immaterials' disjoins sensation from inherited conceptual models, and in the encounter with its resyntheses we are challenged to reintegrate sense and formulate new concepts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesigned by NORM, Zurich, this meticulously assembled document features exhibition documentation by Fredrik Nilsen Studio and data visualizations by Axel Roebel alongside essays by Wendy Hui Kyong Chun and Alex H. Barnett, Marc Vom Ende and Philip Kraft, Robin Mackay, and Luciana Parisi.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49752115216657,"sku":"NGR9781915103147","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52622236582161,"sku":"CIN1915103142G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1915103142.jpg?v=1751218612"},{"product_id":"florian-hecker-chimerizations-book-florian-hecker-9780985136420","title":"Florian Hecker - Chimerizations","description":"Electronic composer and sound artist Florian Hecker (born 1975) has made inventive use of contrasting and conflicting auditory illusions or chimeras--perhaps most famously on his recent acclaimed Mego album \u003ci\u003eAcid in the Style of David Tudor\u003c\/i\u003e, which brilliantly and bizarrely merged the two soundworlds of acid house and avant-garde electronics. Auditory chimeras have been previously explored in electroacoustic music, in particular by Alvin Lucier, but have never been as rigorously researched and exploited as by Hecker. This volume documents four sound pieces that dramatize auditory illusions, effectively composing within the relationship between our perception of pitch and the localization of sound, as we process the two in our auditory cortices. The pieces are partly transcribed using a form of notation called \"typotranslation,\" developed by Hecker at MIT.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50556046016785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50556046213393,"sku":"GOR013998043","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0985136421.jpg?v=1751235344"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-florian-hecker.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
