After a historical recognition of electronic music and soundÕs exploration performed in art galleries Ð i.e. not in the spaces traditionally dedicated to music Ð the architect and art curator Jurij Krpan describes BatistaÕs projects collected in the exhibition Temporary Objects and Hybrid Ambients 2008Ð2010.
Batista Ð who is a tech-mixed-media artist, sound researcher, video experimentalist and AV performer Ð creates hardware environments that establish connections between digital and analogic, electronic and mechanic, visual and sound, audience and machines. He manages to change the perception of electronic as the realm of precision and perfection, showing its characteristics of unintelligibility and imprecision. Through his live performances, moreover, he explores the phenomenology of audiovisual information by immersing the visitor in the Òacoustically visualÓ ambient, which produces sensory, mental and aesthetic reactions.
