Lichtenstein’s sound performance / lecture performance resists commodification, experiments with the resource of copper and it’s connecting frequencies, as a transmission, an intervention, an act of sonic reclamation. It results in an archive of disrupted signals, contested histories, and new resonance, reprogrammed for resistance. 

Copper is an essential element and force of the earth, deeply entwined with the history of humans, research and need for mobility and connection. It’s alchemical sign is Venus and female bodies were essential for the work with this metal, one of the earliest used by humans and still one of the most important in the digital world. It is ripped from the earth, driving economies, fueling conflicts, and resonating through it’s materiality. 

„Copper Frequencies“ is an experimental sound art project that dismantles and reclaims the beautiful resource and material. Through hacked circuits, electromagnetic recordings, and sonic interventions, the project exposes the raw infrastructures of colonialism, war economies, and sound technology.
