holymachines // Aquiet - Image Version AV
Image Version is an audio-visual collaboration between Berlin-based sound artist holymachines (Chris Hill) and Aquiet (Sven Stratmann), a director, motion designer and visual artist, based in Münster, Germany. Image Version takes us to a world where the realms of reality, virtual reality and simulation collide, conjuring feelings of digital alienation and wistfully evoking the fragmented reality we experience on a daily basis. It’s a work that addresses the encroachment of digitisation on nature, our realities, and even our basic humanity. It's a mind-bending journey and relentless exploration into the essence of our reality, aiming to relay this scattered nature right back at you.
DIE! GOLDSTEIN - Dystopia Utopia
“Dystopia Utopia” is the state of mind that walks eternally in the noise of emotion. A terrifying and encouraging experimental visual shoegaze drone noise experience, following a dystopian utopian cinematographic soundscape.
holymachines is the project of Berlin based sound artist Chris Hill. Through the use of digital technologies, he absorbs small fragmentary snatches from contemporary culture, deconstructing them and reassembling them as bold new sonic gestures, resulting in sonic artefacts that meander between ambient, noise and collage.
Aquiet is the moniker of Münster based visual artist and motion designer Sven Stratmann. He has collaborated with artists like Hauschka, Bersarin Quartett and A Winged Victory For The Sullen, designing custom live AV Shows and complex Mapping Setups. Currently he is touring with the collective "Morons of Motion" with the Interactive Installation TRACELAND, adressing contemporary issues such as digital civil rights and governmental observation practices.
DIE! GOLDSTEIN is a dystopian cinematographic soundscape with an utopian ending. An audio visual experimental dreamy shoegaze drone noise Berlin based project of Diego Mart. DIE! GOLDSTEIN, as the character in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four to whom workers dedicate their daily two minutes of hate and from where D!G takes its moniker, it aims to denounce those who own power and use it to plant fear amongst those hierarchically inferior in order to deprive them from their liberty. To those who are looking forward to make a new order, causing chaos. Parting from this dystopia, it proposes to get to a better conflict solution starting with ourselves, heading us towards a more encouraging panorama.
