Unlocking Frequency (2025)
Form Drip (c) 2025
Unlocking Frequency (2025), Palacio is exploring the concepts based on a philosophy of creating a new/counter mythology introduced to him by Sun Ra’s seminal documentary “A Joyful Noise (1980),” as he laments that the ones we were given (popular religion) are not effective in the least. Sun Ra expands on his beliefs that the frequency of music can not only fundamentally change, but also save a nation of Black people. To add on to that philosophy, this body of work is intended to be imagined as scrolls or artifacts that are transcendental to humankind in the future and is further informed by John Akomfrah’s film “The Last Angel of History” (1996). The concept within is that our future descendants will be armed with both the knowledge and technology to decipher said scrolls and implement them in just fashion to improve life in the Universe. Crafting an avenue for an alternative method of thought process is akin to designing a delivery platform for dimensional travel. He is attempting to 'add-on' to his predecessors' work and research as thought catalysts. This is the result of that. The intention is to Unlock the Frequency. If not for himself, for the future.
