Description

Social Dissonance by Mattin explores how alienation shapes our individual and social selves. By examining this concept in performance and participation, Mattin reveals that amplifying alienation can help us understand the social mediation present within our experience of sound. This work is intertwined with a concrete experiment, documented in an instructional score performed at documenta 14 in 2017. The score explores how players use members of the audience as instruments, leading to reflections on self-presentation and conception. By investigating these conceptual connotations in practice, Mattin sheds light on social dissonance - the discrepancy between our individual narcissism and our social capacity. Through this theoretical investigation and experimental approach, Social Dissonance claims that amplifying alienation can shift the emphasis from sound to society, revealing that social dissonance is a fundamental aspect of our existence.
