Viewsonic | Alexandre Estrela | Travesía Cuatro Madrid

Travesía Cuatro is presents ViewSonic, a solo show by Alexandre Estrela. This exhibition is a tribute to ViewSonic projectors, especially the Pro7827HD model, which was launched in March 2016 and discontinued in August 2019. Throughout its short lifespan this machine, recipient of the Projector Central Highly Recommended Award, offered us, in Full HD resolution, incredible colour accuracy and stunning, sharp images. Designed with ISF-certified day and night modes to suit different scenarios, the Pro7827HD delivered an optimised projection for a synesthetic experience. Long live ViewSonic!!! "Some animals can see by hearing: they can hear images or, we might say, hearview. However, we shouldn’t mistake hearview with preview because in this exhibition by Alexandre Estrela we head straight for the main dish without any appetizers at the entrance or desserts at the exit. The dish is composed of the liminal space that simultaneously separates and unites vision and hearing: a perceptual short-circuit aimed at trapping the normative sensory system. To this end, it uses the two senses as opposite poles, abusing them in order to generate feedback that grows until it saturates comprehension capacity. As though guided by a machine of light (1), each eye gains autonomy from its counterpart. Then, having reached this advanced point of speculation, the brain asks, “What happens to the plaice when its eye changes place?” The exhibition responds to this question with a set of conceptual knots whose sum, first and foremost, is somatised in the circular sensorium of Plant Circle. In this piece, circles circumscribe two different moments in a video of an indoor plant. When the circles intersect, they merge and a sonic vision (2) emerges: the plant sings – just as when the sound of thunder destroys the image of its outburst, just as when an immense mass of heat melts the apparatus used to measure it, opening up the possibility of a rebellion of the improper against its place in the world. The fullness of the world is the opposite of its foulness, foul is its exterior." Excerpt of the text by João-Alves
