Exhibition

The Lab features a selection of works articulated around our ambiguous relationship to technology.

Part magic, part function, technology both stems from specific worlds, and shapes new worlds in return.

Through this back and forth, The Lab allows for open-ended, on-going research processes to be exhibited as works-in-progress.

• Arthur Debert
  develops a proteiform practice that finds its origin in collective work and exchange. Constantly in dialogue with each other, his work takes shape in displacements, multiple meetings and collaborations. In the center of these exchanges is the question of the transmission and survival of knowledge, both as well subjective as anecdotal and memorable.

• Geso
  is the alias of Spanish designer and visual artist Pablo Iglesias (Madrid, 1977), currently based in Berlin. His work is mostly connected / crafted around music projects, offering a visual response to sound either as live visuals, art installations, music videos or cover artworks. Besides the influence of music and sound as a source, he usually digs in different concepts such as the perception of light and its physicality, the paradoxes defining our knowledge of reality, freedom and self-being, or the perfection within errors and glitches, to name a few.

• Florence To
  designs and produces sound and light installations, creating generative motion graphics with a focus on architectural spatial design in site-specific projects. The Scottish-born Hong Kong artist, originally specialising in textiles and tailoring, merged her skills with digital technologies to develop installations in underground and disused spaces, using their defects as an advantage. She guided her process further into exploring the effects of cognitive and emotional triggers and how different sensory arrangements are experienced within space. To uses information in relation to vibrations, including psychoacoustics and understanding of computational methods, to visualize the process in her work.

• I-Chieh Tsai
  approaches gender issues through field research using her own body as media. She also deals with universal sentiments such as farewell and human bonding. Her artistic practices are often rituals of self-healing.

Workshop

Composing with sound spatialization

Sound diffusion across multiple speakers is an art form, especially where real-time control is concerned. This workshop by Juan Duarte Regino will focus on live sound spatialization techniques using Ambisonics and parametric-procedural diffusion methods.

Participants will bring to the workshop an existing sound piece that is suitable for diffusion across 4-8 channels.

At the end of the workshop, participants will setup their multichannel sound piece to be presented during The Lab in the unique sonic environment of the Kleiner Wasserspeicher.

Workshop information

(required) a laptop with Reaper installed;
(optional) a sound card with more than 2 outputs, and a midi-controller.

Wed 22.6 - 18:00 - 22:00
Thu 23.6 - 18:00 - 22:00
