Marta Zapparoli—Interdimensional Generated Space (The Final Symphony)
Based on research conducted from 2022 to 2024, Zapparoli’s performance explores the transcendental phenomenon of the Northern Lights on a vast scale. Using VLF radio recordings from Norway, along with detectors, antennas, radio receivers, light, plasma instruments, and motors, the piece blends cosmic voices of the aurora with real-time generated electromagnetic forces. “Interdimensional” symbolizes energy movement between dimensions of space-time, creating a dialogue between the “Natural” and the “Technological.” By contrasting invisible processes, the performance offers a new experience of space and time, reflecting on space weather and its technological mimicry in the anthropocene, allowing participants to experience the aurora’s electromagnetic complexity.
