The work of Paul Devens (Netherlands, 1965) commonly commits itself with public life. By “quoting” or even literally “sampling” and reinterpreting subjects from an industrialized and western reality, Devens issues the well-accepted conceptions behind it. This research embeds in the contemporary developed digitized culture that also characterizes the work consequently. Sound works, video installations and other inter-disciplinary productions processes this research.
The performances are live acts or concerts, based on computer generated sounds, recordings and improvisations. These compositions are often based upon musical figures taken from commercial pop music. By reinventing the sounds and the aesthetics we are used to, the attempt is to remove them from the symbolical and rhetorical clichés they are normally associated with.
