Antimix

(2024)

A curated sound art playlist commissioned by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer for his Dark Ride project.

Dark Ride is a mobile sound art event featuring Antimix plus live performances by Maria Chavez, Kaie Kellough, and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

Antimix is a playlist where each piece is followed by a silence equivalent to itself.

So, if a piece lasts 10 minutes, it will be followed by 10 minutes of silence.

The intent is to foster conversation by going from one kind of listening to another.

From experiencing the sonics of a work to dwelling on the subtleties of dialogue.

Tracks were chosen for the propulsive force that drives them, relentlessly, immersively, darkly, towards your ears.

Dark Ride is a 3-hour event taking place in an especially prepared stretch limo transporting guests from Miami to Naples for the opening of Obra Sonora, a retrospective of Rafael’s sound-centric work, at The Baker Museum, in Naples, Florida, on Saturday December 7, 2024.

Thanks to all the participating artists, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and the whole team at Antimodular.
