Recuperation in

the Space of States

Technologically, titanium shavings are industrial waste. This is not the final, but one of the possible, intermediate forms of material existence. In this cyclicity, titanium is accompanied by numerous manipulations associated with processing on various equipment. But what information about himself, in addition to the visible shell, can he give in any of his possible states?

Each element of titanium shavings is unique, it has its own length, bending lines, glare surfaces. Using these characteristics, artists approach metal from a deep media research perspective - titanium acts as a sound wave generator and an electromechanical audio signal processor. Physical and chemical data and color sensor data adjust the parameters of these generators in real time.

The received audio signals are passed and processed through the body of the four curls of the shavings. The transition to a new quality becomes the very stage that allows you to get out of the state of technological death, to reveal the inner potential of the material, previously unknown to anyone.
