Mice

/ Julia del Río (ES)

Julia del Río uses diverse artistic strategies of interaction with electromagnetic fields for sound performances. Her concerts sonically translate the invisible world of interference and magnetism. Her sound is always a result of various acts of digital communication.

In “Mice” she uses wireless computer mice, turning them into (electromagnetic) musical instruments. Beats and drones from the communication between mice and computer reveals the differences between the design of each model. The possibilities of interacting with those objects changes, the hand touches the mouse with a different purpose, experimenting with unusual positions and interactions in order to explore the sonic possibilities offered by this altered interface.
