Luis Lecea Romera+
biography
Luis Lecea Romera manipulates material, digital and aural spaces to render affect, decay and oblivion. His practice engages with aliveness, deadness, or humanness as unstable cathegories through site-relational pieces. He is interested in retracing and retexturing micro and necropolitical consequences of landscapes and architectures, utilising sound as a binding material in installations, compositions and performances.
In Reach of a Murmur
Mechanised howlings, ghostly hums, and low-grade whines are produced relentlessly by the back-end infrastructure that keeps social apparatuses functioning. When operating efficiently, the focus on these systems is placed only on their inputs and outputs rather than their underlying complexity. Consequently, the more successful they become, the more opaque and obscure they grow. Lecea examines the possibilities of unblackboxing an architecture of power through media archaeology. As structures of authority deteriorate, they end up experiencing leakages. Secrecy eventually overflows its physical confinements, spilling noise as a by-product of their decay. A spatial audio configuration pours the data of files stored in the hidden server room of the former courthouse into a public telephone booth by means of vibration and resonance. The piece renders these transmissions as dying signals of the judiciary, colliding its archaeoacoustics in an inversion of physical and sonic horizons.
