The talk and live music-led meditation session draws on sound design, psychology, neuroscience, folklore and diasporic spirituality. Studies of Air and Smoke is both an art performance and a meta-educational intervention; it is neither a concert nor a lecture. Thiago Leiros-Costa explores the dualism between being an artist and a scientist, performing both roles in the same evening and exploring their connections. The first part of the session assesses the nature of attention and awareness, and how the brain and our expectations are vital in constructing our experience of the world around us. Participants are invited to approach the second part, a musical performance, as a meditation session. Prompts and triggers given during the talk will be explored in the course of the performance. The music will range from folk to free improvisation and sound design.

AKW, 2006 wirft in ähnlicher Weise Fragen auf, wie „K & S“. Die Frage nach der Örtlichkeit, der Größenverhältnisse und der Echtheit stellen sich erneut wieder. Der Schlauch in der Bildmitte bietet die Möglichkeit, eine Einschätzung über die Größe abzugeben. Der Eindruck der Künstlichkeit der Anordnung der Berge drängt sich dem Betrachter auf. Sinn und Zweck, sowie die Fragen zur Entstehung dieser Landschaftsformation bleiben jedoch auch hier unbeantwortet. Materialität und Struktur wiederholen sich hier auf ähnlich Weise wie in der oben genannten Arbeit.
Medien-Beschreibung (en)
AKW, 2006 raises questions in a similar way to “K & S”. The question of location, size and authenticity arises again. The tube in the center of the picture offers the opportunity to make an assessment of the size. The viewer is left with the impression that the arrangement of the mountains is artificial. However, the meaning and purpose, as well as the questions about the creation of this landscape formation, remain unanswered here too. Materiality and structure are repeated here in a similar way to the work mentioned above.
