As part of the six-month-long programme maat Mode 2020, three audio stations have been plugged in the spaces of the museum to host a sequential series of curated sound proposals and specially produced contents.
Integrated by studio SO – IL inside Beeline, the museum-wide architectural intervention that hosts maat Mode, the Sound Capsules act as extended platforms through which the Memovolts – Stories from the EDP Foundation Energy Heritage Collection generate resonances within a special collaboration with ETIC (School of Technologies, Innovation and Creation, Lisbon). Students from the Sound Design for New Media Production course were challenged to work on concepts related to the seven thematic moments devised by the museum team.
These intersect with commissioned playlists curated by Gonçalo F. Cardoso, featuring selected works from the Discrepant record label catalogue that explore the themes of Alternate Realities and Atypical Traditions, broadcast following a set of live performances on Beeline’s stages.
