INCANTAMENTO
Guido, i’ vorrei che tu e Lapo ed io
fossimo presi per incantamento
(Dante Alighieri, Liriche)
This adventure comes from the encounter between two projects, Walkabout and Foreignness, and a place, Fabbrica del Cioccolato and the Blenio valley, two autonomous projects that share an interest in translation and in the territory.
Today an artwork’s destiny is to inevitably “roll” through different media and formats, giving rise to a continuous process of codification and transcodification, or rather of translation. Even the territory with its history is subject to cultural as well as functional-economic transformation phenomena, which by gradually changing its identity trigger a sequence of acts of translation.
Yet every translation is an interpretation, and it becomes so when it fails as a mere act of transcodification resulting from “misunderstanding”, as a condition in which translation is regarded as a testimony.
Using testimonies is guidance to our wandering in this place, the Fabbrica del Cioccolato and its valley, a place leading to enchantment. The source of this rapture is its oversizing, its history of transition across different functions — from hydroelectric station to beer factory to chocolate factory to contemporary art centre — and its being in the middle of the mountains, like a body appearing as a sudden deviation, imposing itself on amazed eyes.
Through the weaving of languages the artworks recall each other by suggestion, they sting and influence the side of feelings making it wrong, a deeply destabilising mistake that alters the consolatory certainties of routine.
It is a relationship with the space and the territory as well as between artists and languages; its purpose is to open itself to the derangement of limit and transformation; a derangement ready to be received by the eyes of a witness to set the following stage.

Performance sonore de Gil Delindro | Vendredi 23 mars dès 19h00
@ La Reliure, Rue de Saint-Jean 45, 1203 Genève
FR – Gil Delindro se positionne de manière singulière au sein de la nouvelle génération des artistes sonores et multimédias. Son travail se distingue par une recherche sur des éléments organiques, des événements éphémères et autres processus intangibles dans la Nature. Dans ses performances, il amplifie des matériaux, comme de la terre, de l’eau, du bois etc. et les transforment en paysages sonores grâce à un dispositif artisanal de micros et d’éléments électroniques analogues.
Il a été considéré comme l’un des plus importants sound artists dans des magazines comme Boundbaw (Japon), Musikworks (Canada) et The Quietus (Royaume-Uni). En 2016, il a été sélectionné par SHAPE, une plateforme européenne qui présente chaque année les meilleurs artistes audiovisuels, et a participé dans les plus grands festivals, tels que MusikProtokoll (Autriche), Novas Frequências (Brésil), Submerge (Royaume-Uni), CynetArt (Allemagne) Athens Digital Arts Fest (Grèce) and CTM Transmedial (Allemagne).
Basé à Berlin, il est actuellement en résidence à Embassy of Foreign Artists et a dédié ces derniers mois à explorer des distortions spécifiques de certaines fréquences dans le Lac Léman. Au DAF Festival il présentera une partie de ce travail ainsi que des amplifications organiques en live.

ENG – Gil Delindro is a unique presence among a new generation of Sound and Media Arts. He has distinguished himself by the research on organic elements, ephemeral events and intangible processes in Nature. Delindro´s performances directly amplify organic materials such as earth, water, wood and several detritus in to sonic landscapes, in a process of self developed analog microphones and electronics.
He has been considered one of the most important Sound Artists working today by magazines like Boundbaw (Japan), Musikworks (CA) and The Quietus (UK). In 2016 he was selected by SHAPE, an european platform that showcases each year´s best audiovisual Artists, and attended worlds leading festivals such as MusikProtokoll (Austria), Novas Frequências (Brazil), Submerge (UK), CynetArt (DE) Athens Digital Arts Fest (Athens) and CTM Transmedial (Berlin).
Although based in Berlin, Delindro is currently part of the embassy of Foreign Arts residency in Geneva. He has dedicated the last months to explore specific distortions of frequencies inside the lake Leman. For DAF festival he will include some of this new work, as well as his organic amplifications in real time.
