heteronomy is the condition of all things | 2025

heteronomy is the condition of all things was presented as part of the SOMA series, a listening platform in the contemporary art center, Krone Couronne, Biel/Bienne (October 31st to December 13th, 2025)

heteronomy is the condition of all things presents alternations of electronic music material in an evolving manner, working with time proportions and repetition to both organise a sense of rhythm and to support processes of aural definition and retention. A selfsynthesized ‘siren’ sound serves as the initial material, undergoing numerous transformations within the granular synthesis instrument New Pulsar Generator. Expanding into a greater listening journey, this work aligns more broadly with LABOUR’s ongoing pursuit to understand the extent to which external forces influence and construct our notions of self.

SOMA is a vibrating listening platform that accommodates the practice and research of sound artists through 2024/2025. SOMA investigates the emancipatory and transformative potential of sound and listening practices.

Conceived as a result of curator Kristina Grigorjeva’s research and together with Ivan Crichton and Laurens Dekeyzer.
