Cables are lines. Lines connect us and, at the same time, define boundaries. In Laura Mello’s workshop, we explore the role of cables in the history of communication while actively engaging in the plastic process of shaping communication tools. We build the simplest form of telephone technology — the cup-and-string telephone — and then try it out as a collective.

The work of Brazilian/German sound artist and composer Laura Mello is the outcome of a practice of listening to the in-betweens, taking sound as the starting point to establish unheard connections. She explores the auditory dimensions of spoken language to deconstruct and reconstruct (de-)colonial perspectives, challenging established epistemologies. Laura’s projects emerge in multiple formats and evolve from interdisciplinary and often site-specific investigations.
