AV performance night with:

  • Klara Ravat and Nenad Popov - Eucariotic Punk Live 
    Guided by the idea of the live cinema in its truest sense, we developed methods for growing specific kinds of living matter directly on 16mm film loops: mostly friendly species of fungi like moulds or yeasts. The chemical processes transform the film while it is playing in the projector. This results in evolving landscapes composed by often unexpected assortment of textures, patterns and colors which, removing the spectator from the real world, let his subconscious free to fall into a dream. 16mm film projectors & synth performance. 

  • Andreas Lutz - Zwölftonform
    Album and audio-visual performance / installation (Dimensions variable), 2015

Event presented by Scope - curated by AudeRrose

Following the formal rules of dodecaphony, for "Zwölftonform" twelve consecutive titles are composed exclusively with twelve consecutive frequencies. The basic structure for each title is made by up to twelve different sound samples from a generated sine waveform. Built on this basis, these arrangements reference and illustrate especially over time the complexity and increasing compression of the original shape. Following the serial character of the composition concept, the titles were published consecutively as EPs. For the visual translation and presentation as a live performance and audio-visual installation, the sinusoidal waveform is abstracted along the album convention. Following parameterized principles, twelve visual embodiments of this basic shape arise. The increasing complexity is now visible and the prevailing simplicity at the beginning inverted by the end. This evolving aesthetic is punctuated with a grid, that divides the base with the value of the sample number.

Andreas Lutz’s (*1981 in Freiburg, Germany) initial works refer to alternative human machine interaction and the approach, to create integrated and universal communication systems. In his recent work he increasingly analyzes and reveals phenomenons of perception versus reality and principles of abstract aesthetics with audio-visual installations. The creation of experimental soundscapes and the relation of semiotics and sound are further aspects of his work. Among others, Lutz’s work has been exhibited at the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) in Karlsruhe (Germany), the National Art Center Tokyo (Japan), the OpenArt Biennale in Örebro (Sweden) and won the Excellence Award at the 19th Japan Media and Arts Festival. 

Klara Ravat is an olfactory artist an experimental filmmaker. By opposing the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, Ravat absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past habit is important as an act of reflection. By investigating the concept of landscape in an adventurous and exploratory way, she wants to amplify the wonderment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of alienation and recognition. Her works appear as dreamlike images, often accompanied by scent, in which fiction and reality meet, meanings shift, past and present fuse. 

Nenad Popov is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is heavily inspired by scientific concepts and methods. He specializes in live performances and cinematic installations, many of which include living organisms. He got his Master degree at the Art Science department of the Royal Conservatory in the Hague, Netherlands. Since 2013 he lives and works in Berlin. He showed his work at the festivals such as Ars Electronica in Linz and STATE experience science in Berlin.
