“WHAT___” places the first 66 meters of a graphic score at the beginning of a ten-year interdisciplinary journey of space and sound by MMM (Maja Osojnik, Mathia*s Lenz, and Matija Schellander). The project explores how a visual score can be understood as an open, multimodal system and translated into different artistic formats. At its core is the question of the “original” and possible translations between image, sound, performance, and space. Over the next decade, the score documents traces of time in a polymorphic manner, embedding them within itself, and developing sound and image structures that invite thinking about music outside the traditional notation system. Linocut, cyanotype, acetone, and other printing techniques – the score winds through space in diverse forms. As a long strip, it resembles a tape and also works with the same medium. The tapes are integrated into its design and interpret, fragmentarily accompany the parts of the graphic score. Tape, tape heads, and speakers invite the audience to participate in the creation. In its center, it leaves space for installative sound performances, in which MMM, together with percussionist Špela Mastnak, acoustically and haptically explores the phenomenon of skin – as a sensorium for touch and perception: through touching, pressing, scratching, or deforming materials such as paper, balloons, or foils. As an interface between inside and outside, the engagement with the theme of “skin” opens a multifaceted experimental field, where the physical interaction with sound materials blurs the boundaries between action and reception, simultaneously creating a micro-acoustic landscape.
