SYNCHROMIE II finds a new home

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 09:56:45 +0000

The content of SYNCHROMIE II, our installation shown last year at “salon des amateurs”, has found a new life. As a background in a scene of the screen production “Ein Platz an der Sonne” and as a fixed 4 screen installation in a bar. The concept of hundreds of geometric forms moving and merging in a grid while movement, blend modes and coloring are controlled by music was adapted to a self running patch. The reactions to these new incarnations of the piece seem to show it works without external sensory input, even if it wasn´t planned this way.

Quantized, Nacht der Museen

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:29:20 +0000

For “Nacht der Museen” we build an interactive multi-channel installation using data gathered by monitoring the visitors movements and Distribution. Entering the installation created multiple parameters which were processed into a statement, synthesized in colour, light and sound.

The Guest performances at night: Tickling Peaks with an experimental music set-up (modular synthesizer, clarinette).
Media artist Niels Mlynek from cologne and musician Maren Kessler from Weimar (voice & composition) presented the
installation “Drunken” on 8 analog 16mm projectors as an piano/voice/visual performance.

With around 2500 Visitors over the course of the night, multiple reactions and interactions between artist and visitors occurred.
