Jakub Roztočil: What´s the Frequency?

Accompanying catalog to the What's the Frequency exhibition at Trafo Gallery.

The work of Jakub Roztočil (* 1979) can be briefly characterized using the key words sound – matter – harmony. Since he is primarily a process creator, this triad with other variables would also be applicable dialectically. Sound in various forms, such as tone loops, is his impetus and starting point. The material is represented by paint, mat, sculpting material and machine. The result of the research should then be harmony, for which the principle of chance and error entering into the staged process is essential. It imitates the conditions which are associated with the cosmic order in the intellect.
