Dubmorphology creates a durational performance that extends over several hours that responds to their interaction with BUDA BXL, where they will be using specific knowledge gained of the site. The composition will have additional sound derived from a geophone mic that picks up the seismic signals of the environment, hydrophone in water and contact mics that respond to the architectural structure that they will be occupying. The layered performance will include these environmental sonics derived from the space, electronic tonal synthesis and archival material of voices that speak to encounters between language, identity and systemic power.
Artists Trevor Mathison and Gary Stewart form Dubmorphology, whose practice responds to specific sites and environments, exploring social and political issues by engaging with sonic and visual materials from historical collections, archives and personal collections. Concerned with epistemological and phenomenological questions, ways of seeing, hearing and sensing our world, their work has been commissioned and presented by museums, galleries, biennials, music and film festivals worldwide.
