A live sonic performance of, and for, the unheard, the acoustic weird, and otherworldly energies. A multichannel system is woven from visible and invisible interfaces using crafted dowsing tools and bodies to receive and amplify discrete, unfiltered energies, revealing electromagnetic auras of resurrected circuits and those crossing the space. Drawing on mid-19th-century domestic mediumistic séances and forgotten parapsychological, occult, and experimental devices such as radionics, EVPs, ghost detectors, celestial telegraphy, and pendulums, this performance explores unstable energies and para-communications, inviting audiences to encounter xenovoices, unusual sensory perceptions, and auditory hallucinations, mapping the hidden currents that shape both environment and psyche.
Claire Williams creates woven antennas, glass sculptures filled with plasma, and devices that sense the invisible. Radio telescope and scanner data emerge in knitted stitches, vibrations, or luminous plasma. She makes electromagnetic movements visible from the cosmos, magnetosphere, terrestrial radio waves, and the body. In the duo The Æthers, she explores historical experimental and occult practices of the invisible.
