MSHR’s performances weave electrical signals and human presence into dense networks of causality that babble with life-like current. Their homemade instruments unfold spatial feedback systems of light and sound, opening a flickering space of translation between sonic and sculptural dimensions. Acting as elements within the system, the duo navigates the electronic ecosystem through a tangle of agency and circuitry.
MSHR, established in 2011 in Portland, Oregon, is an art collective that collaboratively creates and explores sculptural electronic systems. Their performances and installations present cybernetic audiovisual environments as living compositions. Their name is a modular acronym designed to hold varied ideas over time, pronounced as letters or as one who meshes.
