MSG is pleased to present new work, "The Body As Transducer" by Gabi Villasenor

..........................................................................

We keep our emotions locked up in our tissue like a pebble in the throat on the cusp of a sob

Diane Ackerman relays that “the body is a transducer”, it converts energy from one form to another

I mechanically touch her hair and in that moment, my body converts my sense of touch into electrical impulses, my brain reads the information.

Soft, light, long

We are mechanical before we are analytical

Conversion as our greatest strength

The Body As Transducer is an installation by Gabi Villasenor which is brought to light by an active sculpture and a 25 minute sound piece enhanced with live vocals from the backseat. Inspired by the writings of Diane Ackerman, The Body as Transducer is a collection of experiential poems manifested in both sound and sculpture, written during the summer of 2015.
