Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

With the artwork "Naked Music", Luca Pagan aims to produce transparent technology for sharing. Working in opposition to the black box paradigm, the "musical object" gives literal visibility to the process of creating, sharing and playing music. As the artist explains, "I think we should not focus only on the input and output of electronic devices, but think about the process and know the internal components and how they work".

 

Showing the compositional structures of the object gives the viewer the ability to see how the modules work and are connected to each other to understand the technology and make it easier to reproduce, modify, or improve it. "Open source and the sharing of resources are key to appropriating the autonomy of developing devices and technologies, in opposition to a system that wants us to be dependent on them.". In these terms, producing transparent technologies plays a fundamental role in sharing.

 

The project' Naked Music' was wholly handcrafted and produced in only 50 copies, using low-cost and easily available electronic components. It reflects the DIY nature of the artists' work, who also applies it to the composition contained in the object, as he built his own software and a complete set of hardware he uses to manipulate its digital samplers and effects. Using advanced synthesis techniques, the artist breaks down samples collected from the daily traffic of online browsing into fragments of sound and then reassembles them, giving them a new identity. As the artist says: "ours is the generation of the Internet; every day we are subjected to a huge amount of multimedia content and all this traffic is chaotic; so I picked up sounds and signals that I liked and used them as a source for my sound processors; in this way, the sound engages a "recycling process".
