Siri Landgren


Siri Landgren. Form always has content. Theory is also a practice. The flesh is where cognition takes place. This interplay and mutual dependency of layers we thought to be separate or opposite runs as a persistent theme through Siri Landgren's art. She works mainly in sound and text, fascinated by how the human voice as well as the written word act as expressions of individuality and subjectivity, but also as our only vessels for intellectual discourse. For all her love of theory and dry rationality, Siri also refuses to forget about pleasure and the desires of the body. This has led to a series of works investigating popular music and the devices it uses to make us feel and crave, including developing techniques for using auto-tune effects in novel ways.
