Test Lab is a performance that emerges as sound documentation of two author's practices: collecting electronic waste and hacking the collected material, and collaborating with chemists in the process of separating gold from computer electronic waste. As an analogy to the sampling process, experiments and various attempts at the laboratory and the studio, samples of sound are collected for this performance. The sound of short circuits, electromagnetic signals and ready-made electronics are brought into the relationship with the sounds of chemical reactions and treatment of contact microphones with various acids. The noise of discarded electronics and destructive processes suggests the opposite - waste being brought to life and the constant change of substances.
