This
installation/performance is for four audience members at the time and lasts for 20
minutes. We can perform several sets in a row of up to two hours in length.
The living room is an intimate and private place but also the space into which we
invite the outsider(s), the one(s) we don't know very well, the one(s) we
welcome inside. We call it "Live-In Room" since we consider it to be an
everyday place that privileges encounters and is therefore designed for listening, looking and
being affected.
In addition to this, the soundscape can also be broadcast on the radio. The medium
Radio is interesting because of its potential to transform spaces and bodies. The
‘non-place’ of radio due to its immateriality becomes an imaginary place
everyone is invited to reconstruct.
Live-In Room is one of the results of the research project SENSE RADIO
