Black Habit 'is a sound installation, curated by Domenico Sciajno and produced by Antithesis, which is a collaboration between the Australian sound artist Philip Samartzis and German Michael Vorfeld. It consists of a series difield recording (field recordings) that follow the "path of electricity", when you pull a piece of coal from the ground up to the moment when you turn on a light bulb. Sounds certainly not easy to record and who have committed about Samartzis three years. The two artists have used these recordings to compose the sound environment that is broadcast in quadraphonic in the exhibition space, whose walls are visible from the photos taken of prints depicting Vorfeld magnification of light bulbs.
