This Harmonic Chamber
Thursday, 7 April 2022
105 French Street, Glasgow, G40 4JS
Corin Sworn, Jer Reid and Luke Fowler present ‘This Harmonic Chamber’ – an incomplete, future film taking shape as a live performance lecture, with experimental sound and moving image.
Set within a former loom shed built in the 19th century, the performance plays with the apparently immaterial qualities of sound to physically reverberate this dense material site.
Through a deconstruction of the formal tactics of the lecture, Sworn describes a history that disconnects empirical philosophy from contemporary physics, uncoupling relations between knowledge, idiosyncrasy and sensory experience. In parallel, the sonic performance foregrounds a physical experience of sound through resonance and echoe, building time as palpably vibrating and cyclical.
‘This Harmonic Chamber’ is entangled in dichotomies of the material and immaterial, and speculation and sensation. The performance lecture teases out experiences of wavering uncertainty felt both bodily and mentally.
Throughout the performance, the spoken text can be followed online on mobile devices by scanning a QR code available at the venue or here: https://testchamber.cargo.site/
