Social Dissonance
with Mattin
Thursday, June 9th, 7:00 [removed];
Artist, musician and theorist Mattin presents Social Dissonance, published by Urbanomic, and will perform the related performative score, Disonancia Social.
Mattin’s work addresses the social and economic structures of experimental music production through performances, recordings and writing. From this premise, he reflects on social dissonance as the discrepancy between what we do (buying and selling goods) and what we think of ourselves as non-commodified entities. By shifting the emphasis from the sonic to the social, we discover dissonance as the territory and condition we already inhabit.
Through his practice and writing, Mattin explores performative forms of estrangement as a way of coping structural alienation. His work has been presented in festivals such as Performa (NYC), Club Transmediale (Berlin), Arika (Glasgow) and universities such as Cal Arts, Bard College, Paris VIII and Goldsmiths. He participated in documenta14 in Athens and Kassel.
