Scott Sinclair - AV performance for two TV sets
Guido Henneböhl builds unique electronic instruments using self-built analog circuitry, often with parts of broken keyboards, toy instruments or various electronic devices implanted into them. His work focuses on carefully provoked malfunctions in these circuits, constantly challenging the player to act in a field of tension between control and random events generated by the devices themselves - an approach, that questions the relationship of performers with their instrument and asks them to interact with the circuit rather than just using it. Within this more complex constellation, the circuitry takes a substantial role in sound generation and composition.
Scott Sinclair is an audiovisual artist, performer, and programmer. Scott creates work that involves aggressive and humorous collages of different media to form highly interdisciplinary outcomes - from computer music and video art to vocal improvisation and custom-made costumes. Scott has a long history in improvised music, which in combination with new audiovisual practices and the echoes of expanded cinema, he shapes disparate audio, visual, and performance elements into an overwhelming whole. He creates work for performances, recordings, screenings, installations, print, and the web. As a performer, Scott is known for his brutal and unpredictable performances mixing more 'serious' and 'difficult' elements with 'low brow' trash, which has found audiences strangely entertained on many tours in Europe, Australia, Japan, Russia, and North America. In the manipulation of real-time audio and video, Scott is a proficient programmer of visual interfaces for his own artistic projects and in many international collaborations. He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
