Interviews about sound 07-Michal Cáb

Michal Cáb (*1980) works with sound and image, he is known for his inconspicuous activism and natural humbleness, he is creative, inventive and also a self-collected lonely runner. He plays, teaches and works with open software Pure Data (PD), code and feed-back. In his audio-visual performances he lays equal emphasis on both noise and silence and radically interprets their aesthetic quality.

In the series of thirteen audio-interviews recorded during the autumn 2013 Johana Švarcová spoke to artists who use in different ways „the non-visual element“ – sound. For some of the artists that she addressed, working with sound, sound art, development of instruments (hardware and software), radio art or sound installations have become their major field of interest. Other artists deal with sound or sound track (e.g. video) in their own specific ways.

Interviews about sound 07-Michal Cáb
The camera on a tripod recorded women, men and children coming up on an escalator from the subway at Wenceslas Square from the then still non-existent underground station Můstek. Their faces reflect everyday commonness and their passive bodies are brought up to the surface in a continual stream on an escalator. Through those people Ságl showed the resignation of Czech society during the normalization period.
