Documentation of the exhibition 'PLUNK, BOUM, KRASH, ZZZT' held at Laure Genillard London from 28.09.19 to 23.11.19. This video documents artworks with sound in the upper gallery.
 
"In the upstairs gallery space minimalist looking sculptures complement each other with their unexpected use of sound. 'Vibrating rod' suspended from the ceiling exists beyond audibility in the realm of the haptic and complements the mysterious sounds emanating from 'Piezoelectric Panel', a grid of 100 ultrasonic disks, set in a concrete panel. In piezoelectric cells a thin slice of quartz attached to a brass disk vibrates when electric current is applied and the brass disk flexes to produce sound. Likewise, a physical force applied to the quartz produces a corresponding electric current. High up on another wall, a laser pointer shines a thin beam of green light across the room, which becomes visible as it strikes a small mirror mounted on a speaker, which in turn redirects the beam around a corner. The varying sound pressure of the speaker causes the mirror to vibrate and project an oscillating pattern of light onto a monochrome photograph of a Neolithic standing stone. The stone is primarily made of quartz, a detail that could easily be overlooked. In dialogue with these works, a six-panel text work 'Bruits' ('Noises') presents a sequence of onomatopoeic words in French that reference technology and suggest a violent but cartoon-style narrative. The ensemble suggests liminal modes of communication and the electromagnetic noises of military and other-worldly technology." From the press release, written by Jo Melvin.
