The music album Datox explores the imperceptible electromagnetic radiation generated by electronics and digital technologies as sonic material. The work is a live performance and creates an audiovisual environment that explores sonic possibilities through the amplification of imperceptible sounds. This aims to highlight a material layer that comes before data, the electricity that powers electronic devices. The music album and performance immerse the listener in an environment of non-human agency, in the electricity and its voltage differences at the circuitry level of computational devices. The work exposes the dependency of computational societies on energy production from non-renewable sources such as coal that contribute to environmental pollution and the climate crisis.
