Ce Pams + acte vide
KET kicks off its 15th concert season with an evening dedicated to sonic experimentation. With her work Oleajes eléctricos / Electrical Waves, Chilean artist Ce Pams connects feedback with ocean waves, creating a sound environment that engages in dialogue with the venue’s architecture. acte vide—Giannis Kotsonis and Danae Stefanou—present a sound performance in the year they celebrate twenty years of collaboration in improvisation and intermedia experimentation.

Oleajes eléctricos / Electrical Waves
Electrical waves is a performative installation that uses analog feedback to create a surrounding sonic atmosphere through long strings that intervene in the architecture of the space. By disrupting its material structure, the strings construct an ephemeral sonic architecture in which the sound of the feedback unfolds throughout the space, interfering and overlapping to create a sonic journey, a sea of sound in a state of constant and subtle transformation.
◍ Her work reflects on sound through performance, interventions, and installations. She engages with territory as a living space, establishing dialogues with its dynamics and ecosystems; in this way, her processes are inspired by natural phenomena, exploring them as generative and autonomous systems that interact with technological, human, and more-than-human processes. She explores architectural spaces and their creative potential, not only as mere containers of sound but as agents that actively shape the sonic experience.
She has been an artist-in-residence at Cité des Arts (FR), Tabakalera (ES) Sound Art Lab (DK), Tsonami Arte Sonoro (CL), among others, and has collaborated on various performing arts projects as an audiovisual and sound artist in dance, theatre and performance, both in Chile and in Spain.

sound performance
◍ Giannis Kotsonis and Danae Stefanou have been collaborating artistically since 2006 under the name acte vide (“empty act”). With improvisation and sonic and intermedia experimentation at the core of their work, they have presented concerts and installations at international and local festivals and exhibitions, as well as in self-organized venues, most of which no longer exist.
As acte vide, they have also contributed live to soundtracks and to the sound design of performances and films. They have designed and carried out original lecture-performances, workshops, educational programs, and residencies centered on sound and listening. Among other things, they will celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2026.
