Duet /Songs er opptak av ord som etterligner lyder basert på maskingenererte transkripsjoner av insektkommunikasjon. Teksten er konstruert fra lydopptak av "insektanrop" fra entomolog Liao Yi-Chang, der innspillingene ble transkribert til menneskelig tale. Insektsamtalene ble til gjengivelser som:

Psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst.

Ananda Serné er en nederlandsk kunstner basert i Stavanger. Hun studerte litteratur og lingvistikk, før hun ble MA i kunst fra Island University of the Arts. Gjennom bevegelig bilde, lyd, språk og tekstiler utforsker hun spørsmål som berører oversettelse, (mis)kommunikasjon og (ikke)biologisk intelligens. Arbeidet hennes blir ofte informert av samtaler og samarbeid med andre, for eksempel med biologer, vokalister eller oversettere.

PARABOL - i samarbeid med Kunsthall 3.14 velger Lydgalleriet et lydarbeid som medieres gjennom den parabolske høyttaleren plassert i galleriets inngangsparti. Med et spesielt fokus på kontekst og redigeringer, tilbyr høyttalerens beliggenhet en atmosfære og modus som adresserer de samtidige utstillingene i salene oppe på Kunsthall 3.14.

Duet/Songs is a recording of words imitating sounds based on machine-generated transcripts of insect communication. The text derived from sound recordings of insect calls by entomologist Liao Yi-Chang, these recordings were inserted into transcription software originally meant to transcribe human speech.

Among the recorded sounds were calls of plant lice that without amplification would be inaudible to the human ear. Some of these recordings were transcribed through software meant to transcribe human speech and translated into renditions such as:

Psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst.

Ananda Serné  is a Dutch artist based in Stavanger. She studied literature and linguistics, before obtaining an MA in Fine Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts. Through moving image, sound, language and textiles, her practice explores questions that touch upon translation, (mis)communication and (non)biological intelligence. Her work is often informed by conversations and collaborations with others, for instance with biologists, vocalists or translators.

PARABOL – in collaboration with Kunsthall 3.14 – Lydgalleriet selects a sound work for the parabolic loudspeaker sited in Kunsthall 3.14's entrance hall. PARABOL has a particular focus on sonic commissions and edits, and offers a mode of address corresponding with the exhibitions in the main upstairs spaces.
