Andorgallery will be featuring a light and sound piece by the Canadian collective Artificiel, with their collaborator Pascale Malatarre designing the installation. The work is based on a simple concept: playing voice recordings through high power audio amplifiers and feeding them through large 1000 watt light bulbs. The tungsten and glass materials of the bulbs act as rich but band-limited filters, resulting sometimes in understandable whispers, other times purely synthetic tones, creating flowing and ebbing waves of light and sound.

At their opening reception, they will also be hosting additional digital art installations and performances by regional and international artists that are part of the Texelectronica Festivalschedule for other events and the symposium that will be going on Thursday through Sunday. organized by UNT and the French Embassy.
