from 6pm

Andrea Borghis recent work is focused on the idea of “osmosis”, with particular attention to an osmotic relationship between sound and matter.

Discomateria are objects in the shape and size of an LP manufactured in various materials such as glass, resin, metal and recently marble amongst other materials.
In practice, discomateria are used by Andrea Borghi to produce sound directly from the material by being played on modified and customized turntables and processed with substances that transform the structure of the materials surface such as acid.
These discs are treated and in real-time processed to generate sound and also becomes autonomous art objects.

The idea of osmotic sound derives from the motivation to overcome a “superficial” effect of sound and to make it as tangible as possible for the listener, through a psychoacoustic effect in a certain way “epidermal”. The sound becomes tactile and the material becomes auditory.
The sound source is real-time processed through Max/MSP patches (algorithms for sound processing) specifically designed to “shift” various registers of audio treatments to obtain a more physical and material effect in relation to the space.

For the closing night of the exhibition, Andrea Borghi will create a new autonomous sculptural work throughout the performance by processing a disc of raw material.

Andrea Borghi (*1974) is a sound artist and electroacustic composer based in Pietrasanta, Italy.
He completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara in 1997. After starting out as instrument player he attended courses in composition and electronic music held by composer Andrea Nicoli at the Conservatory of Music G. Puccini in La Spezia and also expanding his activity to the field of visual and sound art, investigating their possible connections. His research is centered on using the software Max and often performs in audio-visual contexts. In 2002 he created Quaalude in collaboration with Dino Bramanti (1969-2008). More recently his work has focused around relationship between sound and matter. Founding member of the electronic improvisation quartet VipCancro, Andrea’s work is published on international music labels such as and/OAR (USA) Reductive (ESP) Observatoire (RU) Cipher Productions (AUS) SQRT (PL). His most recent cd Salnitter was released on Contour Editions. His main occupation is as an art teacher.

Hyperlinear, N.K. and the Museum Kesselhaus are delighted to welcome Andrea Borghi for his exhibition of the sculptural aspect of his discomateria project in Berlin at the historical Kessel Ebene (boiler level) of the Museum.

For the closing night of the exhibition, Andrea Borghi will create a new autonomoussculptural work throughout the performance by processing a disc of raw material.

Adam Asnan ­- Bella Trays (Choir)
performance with choral accompaniment

Bella Trays is an instrument both electronic and acoustic in nature. It’s resonant motifs will repeat for a given duration, for any environment, and may continue irregardless of a listener’s proximity or attention; It is to lend itself to being a factor within the aural ambience of this environment.

The implements that Bella Trays now make exclusive use of, derive from a small range of instruments intended to colour or mask the spectral characteristics of a recording, and/or actuate a physical (acoustic) object by way of using that recording as an impulse. Bella Trays is the most reduced and most essential of these instruments. This version of the work will be performed for the first time with a choral accompaniment.

Adam Asnan (1983, UK) is an electroacoustic musician and location sound recordist, based between London and Berlin. His work promotes the aesthetic potential of recorded, amplified sound, the auditory ‘image’ and the virtues of spatialisation. His compositions, live performances and collaborative projects have been presented across Europe, with a number of published recordings.

Adam is one third of VA AA LR with Vasco Alves and Louie Rice.

Lucio Capece – SPACE TUNING.CONDITIONAL MUSIC
performance with Flying Speakers, Intervented Space recordings, Spectral analysis

Experimental musician born in Argentina in 1968. Lives in Europe since 2002, and specifically in Berlin since 2004. He plays the soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, analog electronics (synthesizers, equalizers on feedback), Sruti Box and a set of Wire less speakers that fly hanging from Helium Balloons.
Educated as a Jazz and Classical musician in Argentina-Lyon and New York Capece, developed his work in the context of electro acoustic improvisation for over 15 years. At the moment, and since 2012 he focuses his sound work on the perceptual experience. Creating pieces that deal with specific characteristics of social and architectural spaces, and with the perception experience itself. He has done this through solo pieces mainly, as well as collaborations also based in the same interest.
He has released around 25 Cd’́s and LP’́s, in labels like Mego ( Austria), PAN (Germany) B-Boim (Austria), Potlatch, Drone Sweet Drone (France) , Another Timbre, Leaf, Hideous Replica (England), Formed (USA) , Mikroton, Intonema (Russia), Organized Music from Thessaloniki, Abusrd (Greece), besides others.
Among other projects In 2007 he directed the Project “Extended Modulator”, composing and performing music for and with the “Licht- Raum Modulator”, kinetic sculpture built by László Moholy-Nagy between 1922- 1930. The piece was offered at the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin.

As an improviser Capece has shared projects and released music with Radu Malfatti, Mika Vainio, Kevin Drumm, Axel Dörner. Robin Hayward, Christian Kesten, Toshimaru Nakamura, Burkhard Beins. Rhodri davies, Julia Eckhardt, among others.

As a performer he has worked with Pauline Oliveros, Peter Ablinger, Antoine Beuger, Michael Pisaro, Christian Wolff, Phill Niblock as part of the Ensemble Q-O2 from Belgium and the group Konzert Minimal from Berlin. He has been member of the Vladislav Delay Quartet. His work and research in perception, in recent years, has taken him to compose a piece including Video, based in texts taken from the „Cahiers“ of poet Paul Valéry.

To do Spectral projects based in intervented recordings of spaces, diffussed lately using speakers hanging from Balloons filled with Helium (Conditional Music), and a set of Pendulums created with wire less speakers.

He has performed Conditional Music in the context of very different spaces; The German Pavillion built by Mies Van der Rohe (Barcelona) the Halle d’Expositions (created by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel) in Evreux, France, the Cathedral of Bern (Zoom In Festival, 2012), The Mambo Museum in Bologna (Live Arts week 2012), and during the night, in Kleylehof, Austria (Reheat Festival 2013), in the wild countryside, using as only illumination a set of led lights placed inside the Balloons.

Thomas Ankersmit | Bernd Schurer
Subject: Otoacoustic Emissions
20:00 SPEKTRUM, Berlin

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are sounds given off by the inner ear when the cochlea is stimulated by a sound. When sound stimulates the cochlea, the outer hair cells vibrate. The vibration produces a nearly inaudible sound that echoes back into the middle ear. The sound can be measured with a small probe inserted into the ear canal.

For the first part of Hyperlinear the artists Bernd Schurer and Thomas Ankersmit will perform two shows focussing on the phenomenon of otoacoustic emissions. The expertise and different aesthetic approaches of the artists will give a contrasting insight and experience of the topic.

Thomas Ankersmit (1979, Leiden, Netherlands) is a musician and installation artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam.

Acoustic phenomena such as sound reflections, infrasonic vibration, otoacoustic emissions, and highly directional projections of sound have been an important part of his work since the early 2000’s. His music is also characterized by a deliberate misuse of the equipment, using feedback and disruptions to the signal, and the extremes of frequency and dynamics, to create visceral but finely detailed swarms of sound.

Since 2006 his main instrument, both live and in the studio, has been the Serge analogue modular synthesizer.
Bernd Schurer (*1970, Zürich, lives and works in Berlin) is a sound artist and composer. He studied Philosophy and Film Sciences (University of Zürich), Visual Art and Composition in Zürich and Lucerne .

In his work he addresses aspects of psychological and aesthetic perception via audition through means of digital sound-synthesis, electro-acoustics and experimental conceptual processes. A central practice is the inclusion of psychoacoustic phenomena and spatial multichannel composition.

The focus is exclusively on the sensation of hearing – these sound-pieces, albeit minimal in setup, are very physical and may be better experienced in a context that allows for a strong experiental concentration with an audience – thus installation work is often preferred over “music performance”.

His work comprises installations, concert performances, curating and audio releases as well as numerous collaborations with artists in the fields of transdisciplinarity and film, most notably his longstanding collaboration with swiss visual artist Yves Netzhammer.

A population of virtually synthesised characters and species soliloquizes and communicates in the superstructure of Yves Netzhammers Installation “Selbstgespräche nähern sich wie scheue Rehe” – this piece also incorporates analog modular synthesis and field recordings – a recency in my artistic practice since the year 1999. Nevermind.

Press:

Der Schweizer Künstler Yves Netzhammer (*1970) entwickelt eigens für den Lichthof eine raumgreifende Installation. Mittels Videoprojektionen, zeichnerischen und bildhauerischen Elementen schafft er ein Gefüge, das den Innenhof und seine umlaufenden Gänge in einer Erfahrungsebene zusammenführt.

Netzhammers bühnenartige Einbauten können einem Parcours gleich von den Besuchern betreten werden. Dort tauchen sie in eine physisch reale doch zugleich fiktionale Welt ein. In den computeranimierten Videosequenzen inszeniert Netzhammer einen Protagonisten, der als Projektionsfläche für Emotionen und Erlebnisse dient. Immer wieder taucht eine geschlechtslose Gliederpuppe ohne individuelle Eigenschaften auf, die allgemeine Wesensmerkmale des Menschen trägt. So befragt er das Verhältnis von Körpern zum Raum und schafft ein vielschichtiges Feld für Auseinandersetzungen. Die Wahrnehmung von Dingen, ihrer Umgebung und dem Menschen darin wird zu einer spezifischen Erfahrung von Zeit und Dasein in der Welt.

A recommended listen and a read by sound artist Simon Grab:

http://simongrab.ganzerplatz.ch/wordpress/hirnmusik/

“Hirnmusik” von Simon Grab

Eine Recherchearbeit in Form eines Hörspiels von mir zum Thema Musik im Kopf.
“Simon Grab nennt «Hirnmusik» ein Hybrid zwischen Radiofeature und Hörspiel. Tatsächlich geht er spielerisch um mit fiktionalen Elementen, Statements von Theoretikern und Praktikerinnen im Bereich der akustischen Künste und mit einer enormen Fülle von möglicher und unmöglicher Musik. Er entwickelt eine ganz neue Form, ein Thema durchzudenken, in der Fiktion, Argumentation und Assoziation einander ergänzen.”
Mit: Kurt Grünenfelder (Hirn), Carine Kapinga (Pflegerin), Simon Grab (Radiomacher und Autor), Computer und diverse analoge Synthesizer (die Maschine), und in Originalstatements mit Jens Badura (Philosoph), Patricia Bosshard (Komponistin und Violinistin), Dan Suter (Tonmeister), James S. Adams (Lärm-Musiker), Isabel Mundry (Komponistin), Raed Yassin (Improvisator und Künstler), Bernd Schurer, (Komponist und Computermusiker), Martin Bezzola (Klanggestalter), Christoph Grab (Jazz Musiker), Jörg Köppl (Klangkünstler), David Chazam (Pop-Experimentator), Rolf Inge Godøy (Musikwissenschaftler), Freya Bailes (Musikwissenschaftlerin), Rudolf Eber (Lärm-Musiker), Dave Phillips (Performance-Künstler), Jose Garcia (Chemiker und Naturheilpraktiker), Mike Hamerski (Musiker) und Willi Grab (Aromatiker)

GRENZBOCK, Documentary, 80 min (Teaser)

For the last time, Hubertus Meckelmann has the horn sound for a beating-hunt in the wild. The heart of the former parade ground is soon to be off-limits for hunting. For the territories around it, this is an imposition, since the carefully controlled populations of red deer, fallow deer and boar will be completely disrupted.

The return of the wolf cannot alter this, and most hunters in Brandenburg consider it unwelcome there, anyway.
GRENZBOCK accompanies three hunters through their forests and reveals in long, calm shots the worldviews beneath hunter-parlance and loden coats.

Die künstlerische Intervention von Yves Netzhammer im Neubau des EWZ-Unterwerk Oerlikon nimmt die formalen Elemente der Architektur auf und interpretiert diese auf das zu Sehende, also die Maschinen der Elektrizitätsumwandlung: Der ganze Innenraum, ausgenommen der Boden, ist mit Spiegeln ausgekleidet. Die Spiegel werden mit erzählerischen Zeichnungen und einem Raster aus Lampen erweitert. Dadurch entsteht ein gigantisches, unterirdisches Wahrnehmungslabyrinth. An der Fassade und im Innenraum sind insgesamt 8 Lautsprecher positioniert, welche einen metaphorischen Text vortragen. Dieses Sprachgebilde steuert die Leuchten und lässt dadurch im Innenraum unterschiedliche Raum- und Zeitverhältnisse erfahrbar werden.

synopsis
Alice and Frank move to a new flat in the country with their children. As their day-to-day life takes its course, Alice notices that Frank is worried about something. He only opens up to her gradually and the more he reveals about himself, the less Alice wants to know about the truth.

This is the story of an intense, inescapable confrontation between two spouses, as hidden secrets progressively come to light. In simple, but emotionally dense scenes, the film follows the everyday life of a family, which – initially almost unnoticed – gradually comes apart at the seams as Alice and Frank slide into a deep crisis after 18 years of marriage. Over the period of a year, the film shows the characters with their wishes and limitations. Their helplessness when faced with a truth that throws their previous life into turmoil: Frank feels more and more attracted to a man.
For her debut feature, Claudia Lorenz has worked with a highly distinguished crew and cast. In addition to award-winning co-author Rolando Colla, with female lead Ursina Lardi (TRAUMLAND, AKTE GRÜNINGER, DER VERDINGBUB, DAS WEISSE BAND), male lead Dominique Jann (DIE STANDESBEAMTIN, LUFTBUSINESS) and supporting male Antonio Buil (MILKY WAY, OPERATION LIBERTAD, COEUR ANIMAL) no less than three winners of the Swiss Film Prize are involved.

Der Stein hat eine Seele, denn er kann andere Steine bewegen. Das nimmt die Aktion im Netz mit dem Titel „Steintag“ auf. Am Steintag werden online Bilder von Steinen gezeigt, die auf Bilder von Steinen oder Texte über Steine reagieren. Ins Rollen gebracht hat diese Bildbewegung das Journal für Kunst, Sex und Mathematik. Ein Blog und eine Edition, die seit 2006 online und offline aktiv sind. In diesem Jahr hat das Journal ein Buch im Berliner Merve-Verlag veröffentlicht, in dem es um Steine wie den Magneten oder den Bernstein mit besonderen Kräften geht. Im Blog-Ereignis zum „Steintag“ reagieren eingeladene KünstlerInnen, DichterInnen und TheoretikerInnen mit ihren Beiträgen auf Steine aus dem Buch.

Die Beiträge werden ab 18.02 Uhr live online gepostet. Primzahlen legen den Takt fest, in dem die Beiträge online gehen.

„Eingefasst“ wird der Steintag vom Mini-Symposion Zwischenstadien, das in der realen Welt der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste ab 17.00 Uhr stattfindet. Es thematisiert den sich verändernden Status von in sich geschlossenen Kunstwerken. Ist das Werk nicht vielmehr ein Zwischenstadium unterwegs zu etwas anderem, einem Buch, einer Ausstellung oder einem Blogbeitrag? Die Beiträge zu den „Zwischenstadien“ diskutieren die Grenzen, die ein abgeschlossenes Werk von Formen des Werdens trennen anhand von Rückblicken und Ausblicken auf Ausstellungen wie „Speculations on Anonymous Materials“, „Nature after Nature“, der Bücher „Speculative Drawing“ und „Über Kräfte“ und des Blogs „Journal für Kunst, Sex und Mathematik“ mit: Susanne Pfeffer (Direktorin Fridericianum Kassel), Armen Avanessian (Philosoph), Nils Röller (Philosoph) und Konrad Tobler (Kultur-Journalist und Autor) anlässlich der Journal-Publikation „Über Kräfte“ (Merve, Berlin, 2014).

Zwischenstadien-Steintag ist eine Zusammenarbeit des Instituts für Gegenwartskunst der ZHdK (IFCAR) und dem Journal für Kunst, Sex und Mathematik unter Mitarbeit von Marina Sawall.

Das Journal für Kunst, Sex und Mathematik speichert seit 2006 in einem elektronischen Blog Text- und Bildbewegungen. Sex bezeichnet dabei die Notwendigkeit, die Konstruktion von Geschlechtsidentitäten – und die Polaritäten zwischen ihnen – zu diskutieren angesichts der ständigen, gebetsmühlenartigen Indienstnahme des Begriffs. Kunst evoziert die Infragestellung der künstlerischen Praxis, Mathematik die Auseinandersetzung mit formalen Systemen. Seit 2006 posten kontinuierlich Barbara Ellmerer, Yves Netzhammer und Nils Röller (von 2010-2011 auch Judith Albert). Sie geben eine gleichnamige Edition heraus.

Europe is in a crisis. On the right fringes of the political landscape, ever-louder anti-European, anti-Islamic and nationalist voices can be heard. These are mingled with the praises of a country that has supposedly done everything right: Switzerland, and its direct democracy. Yet in Switzerland, this direct democracy has reached its boundaries. Called for by the Swiss electorate, such constitutional amendments as the anti-minaret or deportation initiatives contravene the basic principles of internationally recognized human rights conventions. This film explores the call for direct democracy in the neighboring countries of Austria, Germany and France, contrary to the experiences of our country regarding the limitations of such a political system. At the same time, the documentary addresses the question of what actually constitutes the Swiss population, as this proves to be much more heterogeneous than politicians often portray.

Bernd Schurer (CH/DE)
Bernd Schurer is a forward-thinking experimental multidisciplinary artist, musician and curator with a background that comes from conceptual art practices, noise, electroacoustic- and radical computer- music. His work discards all formal habits commonly associated to conventional categorization in favor of highly subjective aesthetic idiosyncrasies. Particularly involved in the artistic research on psychoacoustics, spatialization and computational algorithmic art, he focuses on perceptual realizations of these phenomenological implications in his works.
Schurer (born 1970, Zürich, Switzerland, based in Berlin, Germany) studied Philosophy and Filmsciences at the University Zürich, and Fine Arts at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Lucerne. He has given a multitude of audio presentations and concerts internationally since the late 1980’s, as well as installation- and digital media artworks, most notably at Documenta 12 and the Venice Art Biennial 2007, as part of his long-standing collaboration with swiss artist Yves Netzhammer.
He established the independent music label “domizil” in 1996, which is now run by co-founder Marcus Maeder. Apart from having been a member of avant-drone-metal outfit “soil” and his current electronic music project “eNeN”, he is very active in the field of scoring music to motion pictures.
