Telephone handle, electric circuitry, LED light, battery
30 x 40 cm approx.
Edition of 3 + 1 A.P
in collaboration with Carlo Crovato

How can we perceive electromagnetic fields in, around and within our domestic sphere?

On the occasion of Narrative Machines: Notes on the Endotic, initiated by artist and curator Lorenzo Sandoval, the idea of induction conformed the basis of this conception. Electrotron proposes a sound walkthrough that allows to perceive current effects of copper conductivity as an invisible electromagnetic architecture in everyday domestic urban spaces.

Electrotron is composed by a former GDR telephone handle, modified to detect voltage potential objects through induction waves. The built-in microphone and speaker of the handle serve as a detector and sound emitting accordingly, reacting as we move around electric-charged appliances and bodies.

-Exhibited in 2015 at Institute of Endotic Research, Berlin, Germany
-Exhibited in 2017 at Kommunale Galerie Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Berlin, Germany

Michelle-Marie Letelier (Chile, 1977) lives and works in Berlin. Her work orchestrates transformations of natural resources, alongside extensive wide-ranging, interdisciplinary research into the landscapes where their exploitation and speculation take place. Through her work, she places together different epochs, regions and societies, examining political-economic, historical and cultural aspects. Since establishing in Berlin in 2007, she has focused her research on five resources: coal, copper, saltpetre, wind and, more recently, salmon. By applying, mixing and constellating their properties—such as electrical conductivity, crystallisation and agency—, chemical and physical transformation processes produce the artworks themselves, as well as their poiesis, beyond the extractive industry and its forms of control. Michelle-Marie Letelier obtained her Bachelor of Arts from the Universidad Católica de Chile in 2000 and has participated in postgraduate programmes such as Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt art IT (Berlin) and as guest student in the Experimental Media Design studies at the Universität der Künste (Berlin). Her work has been shown internationally in biennials, galleries, museums and institutions, among others: Or Gallery (Vancouver); Gropius-Bau (Berlin); Kunstmuseum Bonn; Stanislavsky Electrotheatre (Moscow); Screen City Biennial 2019 (Stavanger); Bienal Sur 2017 (Buenos Aires); El Museo de Los Sures (New York); Kunsthall 3,14 (Bergen); Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende (Santiago); Errant Bodies (Berlin); Museum of Contemporary Art (Santiago); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Santiago) and Kommunale Galerie Charlottenburg (Berlin). She has been a resident at ISCP (NYC, 2014), USF (Bergen, 2017), Kunstnerhuset (Svolvær, 2018), Magallanes2020 (Punta Arenas, 2018), ISLA (Antofagasta, 2018) and Troms fylkeskultursenter (Tromsø, 2019).
