The MexiCali Biennial presents Sonic Meditations: Synthesizing the Supernatural, Adrián Pereda Vidal’s upcoming exhibition at the MXCL BNL LAB for the PARA/normal Borders program. The artist has created three distinct soundworks which will play simultaneously to inhabit the LAB. The installation invites visitors to immerse themselves in a paranormal state of contemplation as they explore the layered soundscape from shifting physical perspectives in the gallery. Sonic Meditations explores the idea that paranormal experiences – such as an inexplicable bump in the night or a sudden silence – are epiphenomena: perceptible traces of something that exists just beyond our world. Synthesized graphics projected on the gallery wall will generate in response to the modulations of the soundworks, producing a visual epiphenomenon of this sonic presence. The artist will inaugurate the exhibition with a live performance on opening day.
Sonic Meditations: Synthesizing the Supernatural is curated by Sam-Romo White for the MexiCali Biennial’s current research project, the PARA/normal Borders Lab at the MXCL BNL LAB.
