Themes\/Questions:
\n\u2013Can we gather all our anger and need of change and transform them into new energy? Abandon our defensive positions and become visionaries? Can we change anger into music with a stunning and cathartic force?
\n\u2013Let\u2019s work through tension and aggression with a cathartic visual experience. The energy invested in expressing the need for profound changes cannot be wasted.<\/p>\n

Nikola Tesla is an excellent reference as a visionary and artist from the era when the future still held an unlimited potential. How does the Tesla coil work? Information enters the installation through optical fibre, the installation generates high-voltage electric discharges (impressive lightnings) while simultaneously operating as a powerful speaker.We believe that such a compelling and boisterous installation is ideally suited to express both the anger and the positive energy of the crowd.<\/p>\n

The work was so far presented in collaboration with:
\n\u2013 volunteer participants of the workshops on working with vocal and channeling aggression into singing \u2013 their voices lay at the foundation of the installation
\n\u2013the audience who was offered a microphone and a possibility to alter the sound of the installation by adding their voices: short address, singing, scream, visionary speech or sounds of destroying an object they brought.
\n\u2013 Two female singers who demonstrated the full potential of the installation („Duel” at CTM Festival 2018).<\/p>\n

For the first time the instalation was used to amplify the voices of inhabitants of Biskupia G\u00f3rka, an area of Gda\u0144sk in a process of intense gentrification, where the art festival Narracje took place in 2016.\u00a0Residents of the district are threatened by eviction.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b>During our concert\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the postulates\u00a0that they direct to the city authorities (such as:\u00a0We will not be thrown out<\/i>,\u00a0NO to the apartment buildings!<\/i>, etc.) were given a voice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The second presentation took place in Stettin (Trafo gallery) in collaboration with the Amiri family, the refugees from Afghanistan. They agreed to come to Poland (from Germany) just for the purpose of telling their story during the concert. There is only one small refugee center in Poland, near Warsaw – and so Tesla was used to reinforce the unwanted, unwelcome and unacknowledged voices. Its power of half a million volts was furthermore enhancing our anger \u2013 the anger of Polish artists, activists and socially responsible individuals, committed to the idea of hospitality… traditional Polish hospitality.<\/p>\n

We are still working to improve the instalation. The project involves the construction of seven monumental Tesla speakers, and placing them in the public space, as well as musical composition created for the sole purpose of this installation. Being a victim of the system, protest, demonstration, the inertia of the crowd, and as a result susceptibility to manipulation are as dangerous potential as a condensed energy in a storm. In terms of music, we want to make the most of the enormous scale of sound impact that can be achieved using Tesla speakers. We believe that such a dangerous and noisy installation is ideally suited to represent the anger or the positive energy of the crowd.

Zorka Wollny we wsp\u00f3\u0142pracy ze Stowarzyszeniem WAGA dla lokalnej spo\u0142eczno\u015bci zorganizowa\u0142a warsztaty pracy z g\u0142osem. Mieszka\u0144cy mieli za zadanie wsp\u00f3lnie wymy\u015bli\u0107 kr\u00f3tkie has\u0142a m\u00f3wi\u0105ce o tym, za co ceni\u0105 miejsce swojego \u017cycia a co chcieliby zmieni\u0107. Performerka pracowa\u0142a z nimi nad sposobem ich wyra\u017cania. Andrzej Wasilewski skonstruowa\u0142 urz\u0105dzenie d\u017awi\u0119kowe oparte na cewce Tesli \u2013 transformatorze powietrznym wytwarzaj\u0105cym napi\u0119cie elektryczne rz\u0119du milion\u00f3w wolt\u00f3w. W efekcie uczestnicy Narracji podczas pokazu mogli nie tylko us\u0142ysze\u0107, ale i zobaczy\u0107 g\u0142osy mieszka\u0144c\u00f3w przemienione w grzmoc\u0105ce pioruny o mocy miliona wolt\u00f3w. Ch\u00f3r g\u0142os\u00f3w krzycza\u0142 mi\u0119dzy innymi \u201enie dla apartamentowc\u00f3w\u201d i \u201e\u017c\u0105damy szacunku\u201d.

Drugi koncert odby\u0142 si\u0119 w Szczeci\u0144skiej Trafostacji Sztuki, we wsp\u00f3\u0142pracy z rodzin\u0105 Amiri – uchod\u017acami z Afganistanu. Rodzina Amiri przyjecha\u0142a z pobliskiego Pasewalk (Niemcy), \u017ceby opowiedzie\u0107 swoj\u0105 histori\u0119 polskiej publiczno\u015bci, poniewa\u017c w Szczecinie nigdy nie powsta\u0142 planowany o\u015brodek dla uchod\u017ac\u00f3w. Graj\u0105ca cewka Tesli pos\u0142u\u017cy\u0142a do wzmocnienia g\u0142os\u00f3w niechcianych, nieproszonych i niepytanych. Jej si\u0142a p\u00f3\u0142 miliona Volt wyra\u017ca\u0142a tak\u017ce nasz gniew \u2013 artyst\u00f3w, aktywist\u00f3w, ludzi wra\u017cliwych, przywi\u0105zanych do idei go\u015bcinno\u015bci\u2026 tradycyjnej polskiej go\u015bcinno\u015bci.<\/p>\n

Projekt w procesie. Docelowo zak\u0142ada zbudowanie kilku monumentalnych g\u0142o\u015bnik\u00f3w Tesli i umieszczenie ich w przestrzeni publicznej, oraz zakomponowanie utworu muzycznego specjalnie dla tej instalacji. Pod wzgl\u0119dem muzycznym chcemy maksymalnie wykorzysta\u0107 ogromna skal\u0119 uderzenia d\u017awi\u0119ku jak\u0105 mo\u017cna uzyska\u0107 stosuj\u0105c g\u0142o\u015bniki Tesli, bierzemy pod uwag\u0119 tak\u017ce to, \u017ce g\u0142o\u015bniki takie s\u0105 wyj\u0105tkowo niebezpieczne a ich przypadkowe uderzenie mo\u017ce zabi\u0107. Dlatego uwa\u017camy \u017ce tak niebezpieczna i g\u0142o\u015bna instalacja nadaje si\u0119 idealnie do reprezentowania gniewu, lub pozytywnej energii, t\u0142umu ludzi.<\/p>\n
