Come join us before the opening ceremonies of S onic Acts for the initial preview of new media and sound artist Marco Donnarumma's latest work\, Nigredo. Nigre do\, developed during a residency at STEIM\, is designed as a private 8 minute artwork to be experienced by one visitor at a time. The w ork draws from studies in analytical psychology\, human sensory systems\, a nd biotechnologies to create an intimate and uncanny experience of one's in ternal self.

\n

The work uses ad hoc biofeedback methods and wearable bioacoustic technology to create feedback systems within the visitor's own body through sound (bioacoustics) and bioelectric signals. The senses are h eightened beyond their natural threshold\, so as to induce an intense exper ience between viscera and perception.

\n

The term Nigredo com es originally from alchemy\, where it is referred to as putrefaction or dec omposition. In order to create the philosopher’s stone\, alchemists would p roduce a homogeneous black matter by slowly cooking all their ingredients a t once. Later in the framework of analytical psychology\, the term Nigr edo became a metaphor for the moment of despair and disillusionment ca used by a spiraling descent into the dark unknowns of the subconscious mind .
