In 2001 Finnbogi Pétursson @finnbogi_petursson cr

In 2001 Finnbogi Pétursson @finnbogi_petursson created the work Diabolus for the Icelandic Pavilion at @labienale . A large square wooden tunnel protruded from the entrance of the pavilion. Inside, in a pipe, a low frequency loudspeaker produced the first tone at 61.8 Hz faded up in 30 seconds. At the height of its pitch it triggers an air pump which blows into the pipe and creates the second tone at 44.8 Hz. which engender a heavy interference wave of 17Hz; which used to be referred to as a Diabolus in musica.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This tritone known since the Middle Ages as 'The Devil in Music' was considered blasphemous and banned by the Christian church. In parallel, this particular tonal combination was commonly used and formed the basis of Icelandic traditional singing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With this monumental sound work Finnbogi has us reflect on the state of contemporary art and ask ourselves whether by any misfortune we might again fall for the idea that only the beautiful and harmonious is ideologically correct. What a pity it would be for all those who have created original art with wonderfully discordant means. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
