Omaggio a Lucio Fontana
Interactive sound installation for modified turntable, vinyls treated with glue and various dusted materials, computer + Max/Msp.
Variable dimension.
"In paying homage to visionary Italian-Argentine artist Lucio Fontana (1899-1968), Andrea Borghi has ruined a stack of vinyl records and probably not a few tone arms. Fontano famously stated in his ”White Manifesto”, presented in Buenos Aires right after the last world war, that matter, colour and sound in motion are the stuff of the new art. As such, he created numerous works out of light, space and surfaces. By covering these records with dust and glue and running what the needle picks up through a computer, Borghi has achieved pure texture. Of course, he has not just selected old records or "treated" the vinyl but more or less obliterated it;
A few artists, with perhaps Philip Jeck the foremost among them, have turned distressed vinyl into gold, but Borghi´s is the most palpably tactile version I have ever heard. The Spanish label Reductive has preserved this highly original work in a tiny, translucent box, a work of art in itself."
