Manuel Pessôa de Lima’s “Skip Ad” at Tectonics
Dear World,
Our great friend Manuel has made a wonderful piece called Skip Ad for this year’s online Tectonics music festival. Manuel says “Skip Ad emulates the commodification of human expectations, in an artistic process infected by the pervasive ideologies masking social inequality frequently used in digital marketing.” (Lima). The piece — which features vocals by yours truly (Jordan Dykstra) will debut on Sunday May 9 on the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra website at 18:30 GMT.
Manuel has made a number of interesting segments for the debut on his Instagram page (well worth checking out) and I’ve embedded one to preview on the right.
For now,
Jordan
