Musical experimentation and postphenomenological investigations.
A continuous hollow book.
Coppice
Coppice was founded by Noé Cuéllar & Joseph Kramer in Chicago in 2009 as an artistic research into the formation, development, and becoming of a musical experiment, which has been praised as “rich and highly abstract,” “volatile,” “bewildering,” and “a universe unto itself.”
Its compound studies include Bellows & Electronics between 2009–2014, and Physical Modeling & Modular Syntheses between 2014–2018; focusing on the interactions between direct and reproduced sound, and the perceptual links between original and emulated sources, respectively. Its third study in Phonography & Fiction (2018–2022) scrutinizes the dynamics between its previous two studies, and their relationship to architecture and time: the spatial synthesis of the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay being the locus of investigation.
Ranging between installations, performances, and objects, Coppice works have been presented at museums, universities, and DIY spaces in the US, and published internationally on artist-run labels.

Nestor
Nestor investigates postphenomenological relations in experimental artistic processes (from the inside), and the circumstances surrounding the observation of these.
Surrounding questions include: how can the ideation processes of three artists be documented from an outside(r’s) perspective? How can the rules of technical imagination be broken? Does post-historical fiction time travel? What may imaginary silences sound like? How to listen through sight? What entails an artistic intervention?
