Input/Output – Illuminate: Supersonic

Mark Valenzuela, Miles Dunne and Alycia Bennett present a large-scale installation combining electronic composition, a lighting state, performance and experimental ceramics.

'Input/Output' centres on a large-scale steel structure fitted with ceramic objects, thread, fabric, and found objects created by Valenzuela and installed in the front gallery space at ACE. The work draws on several structures commonly used in the Philippines, combining the street stall, sari-sari (assorted goods) store, kariton, and paipitan (a cage used for transporting livestock), through which Valenzuela explores ideas around connection and isolation. Bennett and Dunne will collaborate with Valenzuela to extend these ideas through the incorporation of light and sound.
