Overview

Next up at Firstdraft is Untold Stories, a group show from Berlin-based artists Jessica Ekomane, Jasmine Guffond and Silje Nes.

Untold Stories examines the limits of human perception in relation to the technology shaping our modern environment. The three artists have backgrounds in sound installation, experimental sound and music (Nes releases music under both her own label, Noko Ana, and FatCat records — have a listen), along with a penchant for investigating the potential connections between sound, technology and politics.

This new show indulges their interest in how phenomena like global wireless networks and the vibrational properties of subsonic sounds exist in an inaccessible space beyond our sensory range as humans, using generative experiments and sound installation to play with the idea of perception itself. A must-see for those who take their art experimental with a splash of nerd.
