Made of Walking Delphi (20th July 2017) focused on outdoors movement practices and new technology / live electronics, inviting to new ways of co-operation in sound and movement while connected as (micro- or macro-) walking “webs” of people.
Ros Bandt, Jon Drummond, Vermeire Geert and Katerina Drakopoulou were engaging with a group of movement artist/dancers in a collaboration of making a giant illuminated people spider aeolian harp which can be played and moved around, walking at night, connected with strings. A new sound composition was played with attached portable speakers and sound elements on the movement artists/dancers. The process involved the creation of a “human harp”, a group in movement connected with each other and a tortoise harp, playing the strings that connect them in their trajectory, resonating with the ground and the landscape.
The performance will continue as a digital platform connecting webs of walkers around the world.
Evolving the act of walking in sound waves and webs is the conceptual and artistic proposal of Made of Walking in Delphi, focusing on ways of unfolding steps that restore a sound score of the dialogue between humans and the ground.
In a broader sense, this rhythmical duet intends an ecologic ‘sculpture’ of the earth through various walking webs. In order to create an orphic mapping of these “erratic” places and spaces.
