TAC(I)ET - implied silence
The Harty Room,, Belfast, BT71LN
Saturday 18th April 2026
Lola de la Mata
This is a performance version of the sound installation by the same name that will be running Wed-Fri in SARC.
This performance will include a custom metal instrument, an exhibition table showing some photograms, smaller objects, photographs and interview transcripts to give context to the instrument and diffused sound piece. Its unique scale was selected from recordings made at the Hudspeth Laboratory of Sensory Neuroscience, Rockefeller University, NY, of Lola’s spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs), which she experiences as tinnitus. These recordings won a Sound of the Year award last year.
TAC(I)ET, is a tactile surround experience vibrating air, encouraging the ears in attendance to play additional tones forming a uniquely un/over-heard composition.
