Christina Kubisch and Valérie Perrin. - Inaudible, Invisible
An incursion into a major field of work by the pioneer of sound art who has been exploring the sonic potential of electromagnetic fields generated by our urban and technological environment since the 1970s. I have had the honour to participate in one of her soundwalks, and meet her, years ago in Brussels, picking up the various electromagnetic signals around Le Botanique.
