n|a|ether is an electro-acoustic performance that explores the hidden sonic dimensions of our technology-saturated environments. It features sounds sourced from places where technology’s presence is overwhelming yet often unnoticed, heavily manipulated to reveal new textures and layers. These include electromagnetic signals captured with wide-band receivers, alongside field recordings of urban soundscapes made using conventional digital recorders.

The performance oscillates between intense, dissonant bursts of noise and moments of structured melodic clarity, creating a dynamic tension between chaos and harmony. By amplifying imperceptible electromagnetic fields, radio waves, and pure frequencies alongside familiar urban sounds, n|a|ether highlights the pervasive influence of technology on our sensory experience.

EXGIRLFRIEND and SOFT LAUNCH, in collaboration with SOMA Art Berlin, present 001, the first installment of LOOSE ENDS, a nomadic exhibition series.

The event brings together works by 13 artists examining how surveillance and voyeurism shape identity and community — through performance, video, sound, and sculpture.
