+Q NC Y | Lou Jaworski and Magdalena Żołędź | Galeria Śmierć Człowieka

Inattentive frequencies are submerged in everything – both us and the things around live in a world of waves and vibrations. The sound of the sea, the singing of birds are rhythmicities: four, three two. This is the most ubiquitous range, presumably for all those entities that operate on the human scale. One Spanish artist has extended her sensorium with sensors connected to devices that record the movements of tectonic plates. For us, however, this spectrum of perception is inaccessible, we are only able to feel vibrations on a narrow scale while standing by the columns at a party, an earthquake, or a passing vehicle that sets the building we are in motion. These are unusual situations. Does this mean that the artist feels more every day thanks to the sensors? If the vibrations are constant, then maybe the brain has started to read them as noise that needs to be cancelled out. One of Lou Jaworski's works is about these very feelings, about the mind silencing external signals. On professional vinyl records, at the starting point of the gramophone needle, before the actual piece, silence is recorded – not absolute, but human, earthly (what do you think it is?). Magdalena Żołędź’s works are also about similar imperceptible waves, those which constitute the ubiquitous silence in the networked world that is barely visible to humans. They appear while constantly peering into the vibrating, humming pixels as the world around changes under the influence of the weather. The exhibition +Q NC Y is precisely about this.
