Abstract
Although misconstrued and permanently opposed to scientific means, magic operates inherently in the technological. Tania Candiani’s
Organum is an artwork that aims to propitiate this magical experience within an artistic enunciation; at the same time, it fosters a discussion
on the sonorous dimension of language. Organum shifts between systems and forms of experience; being an artifact that resembles a musical
organ, it offers language as mechanic sound and thus creates a magical experience to speech. It also participates to a broader, historical
relationship with musical organs as discursive objects, revealing symbolic relations between today and previous forms of understanding
technology.
