IT and Media Art
With its interdisciplinary competition Art of Engineering the Ferchau Engineering GmbH presents innovative new works bridging the two worlds of art and technology.
POWEr by artificiel is a performance in which the only source for sounds and visuals is a Tesla coil, invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891. The piece is an impressive example of how atemporality, physical energy and digital technology create complex new performative phenomena.
In Elektrolab, the first of two performances which explore atemporal electrical inventions, a battery is created and dissected live on stage by Rachida Ziani & Dewi de Vree. Marvel at the audiovisual spectacle of energy being generated live...
cl_loop is an audio improvisation based on the manipulation of an electromagnetic field. For this performance Pe Lang utilises three small battery-powered devices that contain two coils whose functions are contradictory; one acts as a sensor and the other as an electromagnet.
transmediale.10 and CTM.10 are delighted to present two stunning works by some of the most important audiovisual performance artists today, that both address the materiality of moving images. Ryoji Ikeda, one of the world's finest electronic artists will perform his live set test pattern, and Jürgen Reble & Thomas Köner will mesmerise our sense with their live piece Materia Obscura.
The world première of Landschaft No.2 – an interpretation of Matthias Fritsch’s work Landschaft – will feature instrumentation from Shingo Inao and Marco Brosolo.
Ryoji Ikeda’s visual works are emblematic of a future defined and visualised through the lens of digital technologies. In this large-scale audiovisual installation – shown for the first time in Germany – Ikeda makes the imperceptible sea of data that permeates our world, dramatically visible through digital projection.
