Seeing Voice: The Seven-Tone Color Spectrum

<p>Recess Presents</p> <p>Christine Sun Kim<br /> in conjunction with the<br /> Center for Experimental Lectures</p> <p><em>Feedback: (4-6 of 6)</em></p> <p><em>Seeing Voice</em><br /> <em>The Seven-Tone Color Spectrum</em></p> <p>Recess in Soho<br /> 41 Grand Street, New York, NY 10013</p> <p>March 15th: 7-9 pm<br /> March 16: 3-8 pm</p> <p>On March 15 & 16, Christine Sun Kim, in collaboration with the Center for Experimental Lectures, will initiate a conversation led by seven presenters, all of whom will give a lecture without using audible voice. This is the final event in <em>Feedback</em>, Sun Kim’s six-part Session at Recess.</p> <p>Throughout <em>Feedback</em>, Sun Kim, deaf since birth, has performed auditory investigations that initiate a slippage of audio into visual. Using non-vocal methods of dialogue to form collaborative vision with visitors to Recess and a cast of collaborators, the artist has created multiple aural perceptions through the use of bodies in motion, microphones, delay pedals, and more.</p> <p>For the final iteration of <em>Feedback</em>, Isaac Newton’s alignment of the color wheel and the octave will serve as a point of departure for conversations that do not privilege audible voice. Each of the seven presenters is assigned a particular color/note.</p> <p>Some presenters will use their assigned color/note as a place to begin research while others will focus on topics in and around individual voice. Each presenter will engage his or her own specific interests and varied backgrounds.</p> <p>Coming from a variety of disciplines, presenters will offer research-based lectures that critically engage the notion of transmuted, embodied voice. They will employ projected images, laptops, tablets, the physical body, and other communicative tools that do not require their vocal chords.</p>
