BARCELONA.- Esther Mañas (Madrid, 1974) and Arash Moori (Birmingham, United Kingdom, 1977) joined artistic forces in 2004. They currently live and work in Madrid. Their work explores sound within the extended field of sculpture and installation. Sound is used as a sculptural medium to change the perception of architectural spaces taken over by EM&AM. They work on a site-specific basis, making the most of a site’s symbolic properties or the given or found contexts. These architectural borrowings include materials and objects they find in their immediate surroundings or the contexts where they work, which they then alter using different techniques of visual and sound amplification. They redefine the interactions between objects and their architectural functions. These high- and low-technology altered objects are then smuggled into everyday spaces and used to spark spectators’ curiosity by creating a series of discontinuities and perturbations in their sensory perceptions
