SUMMARY:JAKOB RIIS. Estructura Propuesta Sonido. Music by Teresa Burga and 
 Riis | INTONAL 2026 
DESCRIPTION:Contact: sylvia.lysko@iac.lu.se\n\nEstructura Propuesta SonidoT
 hree works on the theme of registration as an aesthetic act: Pulse\, messa
 ge\, and step trace a movement from the measured to the experienced\, from
  structure to perception.Teresa Burga’s Estructura Informe Corazón (de 
 Autorretrato) (1972–2006) is based on the recording of the heartbeat as 
 self-portrait. The heartbeat appears both as biological signal and as stru
 ctural figure. In Burga’s work\, the body is not a romantic symbol but a
  carrier of information. Data becomes form. Yet within this precise measur
 ement an intense intimacy emerges: the pulse is both number and life. In t
 he Acousmonium setting\, the rhythm of the heart expands into a spatial ph
 enomenon\, where the interior acquires architectural dimension.In Mensaje 
 4 (de 4 Mensajes) (1974)\, the focus shifts from the body to transmission.
  The voice appears as signal\, as broadcast within a technological space. 
 Communication is structured\, fragmented\, systemic. Burga’s method bear
 s traces of musique concrète in its treatment of concrete sonic elements\
 , but her distinctive hallmark is the insistence on registration. The stat
 us of sound as document remains audible\; the structure stands clearly exp
 osed.Jakob Riis’ Step on\, step in\, step out (2026) draws on three year
 s of pedometer data. The steps – thousands of daily movements – form t
 he raw material of the work. The title suggests a passage through threshol
 ds\, while also pointing toward another impulse from Burga’s era\, when 
 consciousness itself was imagined as something that could be shifted\, ope
 ned\, expanded.Here\, the sober numbers of self-monitoring are displaced i
 nto a different register. What normally functions as a tool of control and
  health statistics is transformed into rhythmic flow and spatial experienc
 e. The step – a classic concrete sound object – detaches from its grou
 nded function and begins to circulate within the loudspeaker space as a fo
 rm of auditory passage. The data lose their linear direction and become mo
 vement within consciousness.Teresa Burga (1935–2021) was a Peruvian arti
 st and a central\, though long overlooked\, figure in Latin American conce
 ptual art. From the late 1960s onward\, she developed a practice that conn
 ected art\, information\, and social systems. Working with statistics\, me
 dical measurements\, archives\, diagrams\, and institutional structures as
  artistic material\, she investigated how identity and the body are shaped
  through registration and data. Her works often revolve around the self-po
 rtrait as informational structure and communication as a technologically a
 nd politically conditioned act. In recent years\, her work has received br
 oad international recognition and has been presented at major museums and 
 biennials worldwide.Jakob Riis (b. 1964) is a composer and sound artist wh
 o in recent years has focused on acousmatic music and spatial composition.
  His work explores how structures can be transformed into sensory experien
 ce within the loudspeaker space. Often combining electronic and concrete s
 ound sources\, he works from systemic points of departure that\, through c
 ompositional processing\, shift toward spatial and perceptual investigatio
 n. Riis’ works have been presented in concert and festival contexts\, wi
 th particular emphasis on various multichannel formats.Visit Jakob Riis’
