RADIX by Alexandra Bellon, Karla Isidorou

RADIX by K&A offers a 20-minute immersive sonic journey challenging perceptions of evil. Using live binaural sound recordings, visitors experience another’s auditory world unfolding in real time. Binaural audio mimics human ear reception, intensifying intimacy and stimulating empathy. In “RADIX” music, narrative and dialogues merge, evoking a unique experience for the listener through headphones. K&A, exploring this technique since 2019, aim to evoke varied intimacies and shift perspectives, from individual immersion to broader empathy.

K&A presented RADIX as an installation in which live and prerecorded elements merge. On the web-version the prerecorded soundscape can be experienced. Put on your headphones!

K&A, formed by Karla Isidorou & Alexandra Bellon, is a dazzling duo. Together they build projects & concepts that arise out of long periods of research. Torrent books, vagary images, deserting writings, performative actions, grinding sounds, poetical and socio-political contexts come together to create a complex philosophical environment in which the statement of each project is formed.
