two sound installations:

atem + innerest

miki yui [j/d]

the ambivalent relationship between inside and outside, light and dark, coincidence and composition features in the installations atem and innerest by the japanese artist, living in düsselsorf, miki yui in atem [in the tower room], half transparent, white paper strips create a softly billowing room-within-a-room, in which minimalist sounds in the interior melt into noises from outside. in innerest [in the bell chamber], miki yui has created a darkened place in which foil forms an abstract 'landscape' in which the sounds from the outside space are interwoven into a composition.

sound art installation:

farben

tamtam [sam auinger + hannes strobl] (a)

in the open ruin of the franciscan church of the grey cloister, tamtam [sam auinger und hannes strobl] have installed a poetic sound space with loudspeakers that plays with the space-time feeling of the visitor. the starting point of the installation is the neighbouring public space with its sounds and noises that swap its architectonic, social, functional and rhythmical structure in a complex game of exchange between perception and association. the musical language of the composition develops from the sound colours of the environment. sound material and compositional strategy fall into renewed dialogue again and again with the acoustic events of the location, changing and forming in this way the experience of the space.

sound installation:

pneumatic sound field

edwin van der heide [nl]

edwin van der heide uses air pressure to generate sound in his installation:
acoustic sound develops from temporally limited pressure differences in the air. a field of forty pressurised air valves is arranged over the heads of the audience in the courtyard of the podewils'schen palace. pneumatic sound field is an interactive installation using wind, pressure and sound to generate an architecture of sound. the movement of the air waves is measured by sensors and the analysed results influence the composition. through their presence and movement, the audience themselves take part in the spatial interplay of the air movement and the sound creating pressure valves.

the concept of the sound generation has been refined and augmented by edwin van der heide during his project residency at tesla.

installation:

fades

carsten nicolai [d]

carsten nicolai's installation fades deals with the media of light and sound. fades is a video projection for a specially created environment. ultra-fine mist is sprayed into the space and materialises the white, projected light. the spectator experiences sound and image in the fleeting and overlaid moment of their hearing and sight perception. light shapes develop in cross-fades synchronised to a sculpted noise, passing through numerous linear, logarithmic, parabolic and hyperbolic processes. fades plays with the idea of making this mathematical vocabulary perceivable through the interaction of matter, sound and light.

helen mirra [usa]

helen mirra's personal perspectives on time, space and travel and the relationship between people and nature make up the body of her work. layers of cultural, political and historic landscapes are opened up and questioned. different forms of memory and imagination as well as a sense of nostalgia typify her minimalist and poetic work.

'my artistic work covers a whole range of media such as film, video, sound work, text and sculpture. i am especially interested, in in the relationship between the natural environment and mankind's involvement in it in general. in early pieces i was concerned with themes like the killing of the forests, the ideology of economic growth, the building of railways and militarisation.'
[helen mirra]

sonambiente 5: ortsbezogenheit (site specificity)


robin minard [weimar], andreas oldörp [hamburg]in discussion with barbara barthelmes

sound art pieces are especially sensitive to the conditions of their presentation. the spatial, acoustic and architectural context of a piece is often not easy to separate in its reception from the work itself. because of its medium, sound art appears to be site specific art per se. the opportunities as well as the difficulties that result in the genesis like the conservation and commercialisation of pieces of sound art are the themes of the discussion between two sound artists and an academic.

audiovisual installation

the installation franz liszt museum 2006 has been developed by students from the hochschule für musik franz liszt and the bauhaus university weimar under the direction of robin minard [collaborators: hanns holger rutz, ludger hennig] as a site specific piece for the liszt-haus weimar. a vertically tensioned piano wire is stimulated into vibration by a feedback loop. the installation is now realised in an open studio context in a different spatial setting.

sonambiente 6: akustische environment (acoustic environments)


cilia erens [nl] and justin bennett [den haag] in discussion volker straebel

the sensitisation of the listener to his/her acoustic environment has driven concept and sound artists since the 1960s and declared an object of aesthetic work. contemporary tendencies will be discussed in conversation with two artists who have pursued different approaches in this area.
