Sound Archeology
Re–imagining the past, this installation raises critical questions about human activity on Earth, and the possible future scenarios this might lead to. Using soviet sourced electronic materials, and sound elements, an analogue audio system from soviet time and a vinyl record and soil on which a bunch of local weeds thrive, this small–scale presentation portrays a temporal shift to a time in the near future from which the age of corporate exploitation of natural elements, capitalist consumption within economic anthropology and the infrastructure of civilisation is in ruins and looked back at with shame.
As the dusty/scratched Soviet hymn vinyl record being played, the dust settles into the grooves crumbling, ruinous place – deteriorated in size – reference the ominous effects of this age. The holes are made pertinent to the site of the installation – champagne factory – as well as decadent place, these decaying replicas. This, which directly ties the installation to its exhibition site and the region’s corporate production, makes the retro–futuristic scenario all the more effective since only the temporal, not the spatial is made to shift.
The long–term effects of the industrial revolution, from which modern capitalism and corporate dominance arose can be seen as a backdrop to this sinister forecast. The installation poses the practical problem arising from the conceptual meaning of the theory of the substantivists, which defines economics as an aspect of everything that society provides, but nothing that defines society as economic.
Supplementing the apocalyptic prognosis, the project also provides creative proposals for a possible future that can arise from the ruins of our past.
