Full Range Society is a participatory audio installation by the artist duo Lightune.G (Bojan Gagić and Miodrag Gladović) and part of the Actopolis Zagreb project Invisible Belonging, curated by Ana Dana Beroš.
Conceived by Lightune.G as a "composition in the making", the work consists of two parts. The first part is the installation ZVUČNE ISKAZNICE: SOUNDENTITY, taking place in Greta Gallery. The second part of the project will be introduced to a global audience in September 2016 as a web application, which is based on a virtual, statistically demographic sound map of Europe.
Lightune.G: (Bojan Gagić and Miodrag Gladović) about FULLRANGESOCIETY:
"The installation at the Greta Gallery is a creation of personal composition which is formed by every visitor through the contribution of different parameters via a questionnaire with questions about gender, age, nationality, religion, marital status, assets, family status and so on. Every recorded data changes the structure of the sound in the room and the result is a personalized audio image of the single person. With this approach we would like to emphasize the uniqueness of every person regardless of the belonging to any social context."
(Bojan Gagić)
"The web project gives us an access to the complexity of human relations inside of communities we call states. Through public data of the population in several European states it`s possible to observe the changes these countries went through the history. Like in the installation, the focus lies on the transformation from data to sound.”
