Strange Futuristic Music Exploration

Composer, performer and sound artist Laetitia Sonami will present an overview of work carried out over three decades, including her legendary lady’s glove, wire writings, hijacked plungers and current attraction to uncontrollable interfaces.

The trajectory of Sonami’s research is guided by careful attention to the notion of presence in both the staged performative works and its concomitant gesture of embodiment in installations.

She poses a series of questions that invite viewers to discover new behaviors through erratic performance, and to project imagined connections onto networks of silent copper.
