19hz

I recently read a possible explanation for ghost vision. The article said that if there are vibrations in a space that produce a wave frequency of approximately 19 hz, we could get to see them. Vic Tandy discovered this in 90, while working in a supposedly haunted English laboratory. He discovered there a fan that produced a low frequency sound. When turning off the fan, the ghosts were over. Everybody stopped seeing them.

Those infrasound are inaudible to the human ear. Elephants do have the ability to hear them. It seems.

Despite not being able to hear those waves, our body detects them in some way, since the frequencies between 18 Y 19 hz enter into resonance with the eyeball. This MRI can cause blurred vision or optical illusions.… If we add to this the suggestion, we could get to see ghosts.

Do you believe in ghosts?

In three sessions we will try to make a small collective movie, working in the dark with everyday light fixtures and simultaneously producing a home-made soundtrack for that film space. We will lose sight of the house as it is, we will recognize its corners and our sensations from a more intimate and somatic space. From the void to the possible. We enter the mysterious, in what still has no name, in perceptual states that allow to detect unheard of things, little, reports, multiple, scary but also fun, absurd and capable of turning into something else. All the time.

And you, Do you believe in ghosts?

He is currently looking for hybrid forms between the filmic language and the scenic, generating different performative devices. He has been working on hybrid formats of research and artistic production for some time, how Jumping Scales (2017-2018).

His last pieces are Parallax (2016), stage piece for light and sound; The Boogie-Woogie Ghost (2018) film made together with María Jerez, Talking pictures-a talking movie (2018) with Esperanza Collado, The Mountain (2018), a stage concert, de Nilo Gallego together with Luz Prado and Vito-Gil Delgado and Brilliant Corners an exploration of cinema without film, together with the Orquestina de Pigmeos collective. The movie is currently finishing Puebla together with María Jerez and working on two projects related to the materiality of sound: deep, a long-term project on underwater perception, and in U, scenic piece that will premiere in mid- 2021.
