MY EYE WHITE

2019, Text-Sound-Video-Performance

The polyphonic text sound performance MYEYE WHITE is based on a poetic system, created by Swantje Lichtenstein, which demonstrates the digital transformation of texts, voice recordings, stories, chatter, found and invented sentences. This Matters are geared together to the sound of language through electronic rhythms and vocal improvisations as well as electroacoustic extension of the literal sense and the various levels of literal meaning. The sound art includes stories, narrations, poems, conversations and is based on communication and interaction. Through the musical-performative, vocal incarnation of the language, which is brought into the room through a transmedial connection of video, word, audio in various ways, it seems to dissolve into flowing electronic sounds, and yet it becomes body in every moment and word design again present in the room and audible. This is a genuinely poetic work, in the sense of a processual meshing of music, word and voice gaining an inner view into the space of the Other, the interior, the consciousness out of the body, dealing with the whites and their own whiteness the multilingual spitters in the white eye, who discusses the privileged gaze, the possibility of speaking, being heard and interjecting, within the framework of their own artistic and feminist responsibility. Unless everyone is heard, those who speak must point out that not all are heard, vocally, literally, physically and through the sound.
