Frozen, 5 Days Off MEDIA
Wed 2 through Sat 26 July 2008
Melkweg Mediaroom, Paradiso
Over the past years, there has been an
enormous development in the field of
live-presented audio-visual performance
art. Owing to digital techniques, image
and sound are connected in a way that
was previously unthinkable. Frozen is
headed in the opposite direction. Frozen
pulls the plug and presents audio art,
prints, and sculptures as independent,
but interconnected works of art.
In the Mediaroom at the Melkweg
multi-channel sound pieces can be
experienced over an advanced speaker
setup, accompanied by sound in a
"frozen" form: Images and
sculptural objects made using sound as
input. These artworks use audio analysis
and custom software processes to extract
meaningful data from the sound signal,
creating a mapping between audio and
other media. Frozen will feature digital
prints as well as four "sound
sculptures" created using digital
fabrication technology such as rapid
prototyping, CNC and laser cutting,
which allow for the direct translation
of a digital model into physical form.
Frozen arose in collaboration with the
Norwegian artist and curator Marius
Watz, whose Generator.x project
investigates the implications of
generative systems and computational
models of creation. The recent
exhibition Generator.x 2.0: Beyond the
Screen brought together artists and
architects to explore the potential of
this new mode of creation.
Besides Watz's own contribution, 'audio
sculptures' will be on display by
Andreas Nicolas Fischer (DE) &
Benjamin Maus (DE), Leander Herzog (CH),
and Daniel Widrig & Shajay Booshan
(UK). These sculptures are based on
audioworks by Freiband (Nl, Frans de
Waard), and Alexander Rishaug (No).
Frozen is presented in the Melkweg
Mediaroom and at Paradiso.
5 Days Off MEDIA is part of the 5 Days
Off festival for electronic music from
Wed 2 through July 6.
5 Days Off MEDIA presents three themes:
Crosswire, Frozen and Roots.
Locations: Melkweg, Paradiso, Dutch
Institute for Media Art and Heineken
Music Hall.
