The latest proposal from Praxis<\/a> at Artium features Guillem Bayo with Close Encounters with a S.O.F.A<\/a><\/em> (Sequencer Oscillator Filter Armchair<\/em>).As ever in his work, Bayo carries out a sensorial investigation amplifying the magnitude of each action beyond the limits of the object he designs. A sort of dialogue with and for technology that ends up being culminated by the spectator with her active presence in the space. <\/p>\n

This time in his proposal he recreates a display that recalls an everyday space. A sofa invites us to sit down, soft light, a chair and, above the rocking chair a device that is hard to classify. The artist situates himself on the threshold of sound and electronic art, and from there, defies the spectator to generate music. The main idea is to produce random sounds with parameters that can be altered by the spectators. In this debate between the stigma of the everyday and the technological, Bayo manages to bring together methodologies and natures under the sign of the Readymade. De-contextualised objects acquire a new significance by way of their fusion. An encounter that propitiates an open ending and changing atmosphere one cloaked under the sign of chance. <\/p>\n
