Natalia Domínguez Rangel

Currently lives and works in Amsterdam.

"My work has been connected with architecture, in situ installations and technology. I am interested in how digital synthesis (in sound) can be manipulated, in its time, space and the subject against a backdrop of technological innovation and domination (frequencies control). I see technical progress as an inevitable, exponential continuity building towards the realisation of a technological utopia. Where I create an auditory space that affects and resonates physiologically and psychologically with the audience. Thinking in terms of time, space, timbre, source of input, output, image and audience.
Sound can be a source of both pain and pleasure."
