In ATTACK-DECAY a performer walks in space and explores the acoustic qualities of the area surrounding the Koning Albertbuilding by means of an impulse-generator device. Developed in the form of a durational performance interspersed with long silences, the work aims to witness the presence of an acoustics that will disappear together with the demolition of the Koning Albertbuilding.

Davide Tidoni is an artist working from the boundaries of the physical, perceptual, and affective dimensions of sound. His work addresses questions regarding interactions with acoustic space, interdependence, and impermanence. His practice also includes interests in the use of sound in counter- cultures and social contexts of struggle. He published “The Sound of Normalisation” (2018), a field research on the ultras group Brescia 1911, and “Where Do You Draw the Line Between Art and Politics” (2021), a series of interviews with individuals active at the intersection of art and politics.
