electrosazoustic2/5bz sound and video installation serhat köksal [tr] -- studio 1 -- |
|
|||
|
2/5 bz a.k.a. serhat köksal starts his one-month project residency at tesla with an open studio. the entry point to serhat köksal's new project electrosazoustic' is a video and sound installation in which his introduces his material and strategy: from the clichés of mass culture he collages together over-the-top cut up montages from traditional music, experimental electronic sounds, television and film stills. the new project, elecrosazoustic is musically centred around the combination and confrontation of micro-tonal electronic sounds with the sounds of a saz (baglama) - a traditional turkish instrument, which is like a lute and also microtonal in itself. serhat köksal has broadened the scope of his saz and plays traditional motives as well as his own sounds. video-wise, electrosazoustic draws on the cosmos of turkish cinema, mixed together with material from the news, documentaries, hollywood, bollywood and material shot by the artist. it is a dadaist world created from orientalism, pop, kitsch, comics and folklore. www.2-5bz.com |

phonethica: off the walltakumi endo -- studio 2 -- the large scale sound installation off the wall is based on a modification of a technology invented in 1877 by thomas alva edison for recording and playing back sounds. it is a part of the interdisciplinary media art project phonethica and offers a tactic for the discovery of the world through phonetics. phonethica deals with human speech as sound expression and explores the diversity of the world using the grammar of sound art through the phonetic basis of language. in view of the fact that fifty to ninety percent of the roughly 7000 languages spoken worldwide will disappear within the next century, a self-reproducing multimedia database is to be made to take stock of these languages and make them available through a search engine. the development of the installation off the wall started at the end of 2005 in berlin. for more than a month a prototype has been produced and tested in the open studio in tesla in the podewils'schen palais. the installation will be on display in 2006/7 in berlin, prague, tokyo, and hong kong. www.phonethica.net |

bioskoplillevan [irl] zeitblom [d] christian fuchs [d] jörg lammers [d] -- studio 405 -- |
|
|||
|
bioskop is a walk-in installation by the video artist lillevan, the composer zeitblom and the architects christian fuchs and jörg lammers [on architektur]. found elements from film and film music will be worked upon, collaged together and compressed into a metafilm in an unconventional cinema/room setup. the outcome is a film as absolute film. bioskop deals with the basic formal elements of film and exposes the conventions of filmic composition, revealing them to the senses. lillevan works on film sequences and bundles them together under newly associated thematic modules. zeitblom's composition is orientated toward the montage and style principles of film images. themes and moods from films of different epochs will be isolated from their respective emotional effects. these will be contradicted and reconfigured without falling back on or quoting the respective film music. an artistic synthesis of structural and emotional aspects of the film production results. bioskop can be experienced by the public in the open through plans for the architecture of the installation and examples of the image and sound setup. the artists will introduce their concept and discuss the questions arising from the working process itself. bioskop has been supported by the hauptstadtkulturfonds. |
