Soundscapes – Impulses, a sound installation representing the sound of a drawing. Contrary to the artworks, which are controlled by the outer psychological stimuli, Ana Sladetić is interested in physical stimulations that surround us, and how they are affected by the unconscious. Impulses from 2013 is a series of works that came from the inability to control a graphical line during a four hour bus ride from home to work (Zagreb to Osijek) and back. The artist has let the environment take control over the drawing on the paper and she used her body, her hand, as a filter and transmitter of the stimuli. The process resulted in shaken, unrestrained lines. The environment (in this case the bus ride and the space in motion) affects the human in a certain way through vibrations, and by capturing these unconscious vibrations an interesting aesthetics of forms and drawings has been revealed. Using a hand scanner these drawings are translated into sounds represented at the exhibition. Interesting transfers from internal to external and back are made through parallel relations between sound from within the bus, drawing and translating the drawing back into sounds.
