Signal Convergence, Leticia R. Bajuyo

SHOW 21 May to 18 Sept -- EVENT IN SEPT -- At 6 p.m. on September 10th, artist Leticia Bajuyo will collaborate with musicians and composers for a performance on a theremin, which is an electronic musical instrument that is unique for being played entirely without physical contact, sends signals traveling through three horns constructed from thousands of CDs and DVDs. Each horn redirects sound toward a shared point of convergence where frequencies meet, overlap, and fracture. Surrounded by these forms, the receiver experiences sound not as a single source but as a shifting field of pressure, with moments of alignment, distortion, and overload. The discs function as both material and metaphor: shimmering surfaces that suggest amplification while complicating them. Their presence is intentionally theatrical, performing projection and volume even as they obscure the mechanisms carrying the sound. In this way, the installation emphasizes how perception is shaped as much by spectacle, expectation, and relational dynamics as by physics.
