TETC: HOT TUB
DescriptionRecorded over two years and two provinces, Hot Tub is an album of sound poetry, ambience, and melodrama — a document of the disintegration and persistence of language. Each record sleeve is unique and hand-made, and all come with a digital download code for the audio.
Combining the formats of seminars, workshops, and performances, the Toronto Experimental Translation Collective (TETC) renegotiates relationships within and across languages and media. TETC uses methods of homophonics, transcription, field recording, algorithmic distortion, and cross-disciplinary hybridity to create spaces for heterotopic pedagogy. The texts, recordings, and performances produced document our unlearning of prior assumptions around communication. These activities develop strategies for withdrawal from the instrumentalization of language systems. In addressing the hegemonic power of major languages, TETC brings to the fore language’s potential in play and protest. Toronto Experimental Translation Collective is Benjamin de Boer, Yoyo Comay, Nicholas Hauck, Eddy Wang, Fan Wu, and Ami Xherro.
