The slippery materiality of untraceable objects: from the arsenic poisoning
the wells of Bangladesh as told by Nabil Ahmed, to Arie Altena's account of
the superstition surrounding the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, or the
bizarre biology of the vampire squid from hell in a passage of Vilém
Flusser’s ‘Vampyroteuthis Infernalis’ read by AGF.

In PROBES #15 we look at experimental uses of the more intractable folk
instruments: bagpipes, hurdy gurdy and harmonica. Is nothing sacred?
*2- SON[I]A #209. EVOL*
Link:
http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/evol/capsula
Roc Jiménez de Cisneros about EVOL's very free deconstruction and
reinterpretation of György Ligeti's 'Continuum' and Hanne Darboven’s 'Opus
17a', and how these works relate to the duo’s current artistic practice.
Unusual notions of time in relation to music, algorithmic reverse
engineering, complexity through simplicity, anti-climax, ancient trance
music, weird mental states and Dick Higgins' Superboredom concept pop up in
the conversation.
ENJOY!
