Listen to a special hour-long mix by audiovisual artist Sally Golding, also including interview segments. The show was produced for the radio station Resonance Extra.
Sally Golding is a British-Australian artist whose work considers participation and liveness in audiovisual art as a mechanism for shared experiences and dialogues within technological contexts. Golding’s audiovisual performances play upon the politics of listening and seeing – edgy and intense in nature, they unravel in the style of a ‘happening’ to incorporate aspects of the performance space, blending discordant sonics and harsh lighting to investigate the social potential of opto-sonics.
Mixing innovative ‘darkroom compositions’ that rework the potential of the optical sound system as a site for psychoacoustic radio play; own lathe cut audio recordings inscribed onto silver foil; and live interference and generative feedback systems using amplified lighting and light sensitive audio including repurposed camera flash units and PA shattering laboratory strobe lights, Golding’s sounds are intriguingly indivisible of the materials with which they are produced. Defying categorisation, her live sets draw in her own sampled voice and interjections of feedback through a layered impasto of sound and light.
