Together with director Matthias Schönijahn, the industrial designer Felix Kraemer, the light designer Hendrik Borowski, the musician Wojtek Blecharz and about 6 dancers and musicians, we concepted a theatre piece in which the dancers, the lights, the music and the projections move and perform according to realtime weather data, which is collected by weather stations in and outside of the theatre. The project was supported by Fonds Darstellender Künste and is still waiting for its premiere.
During the process, various ways in which real-time weather data could be translated into stage machinery via DMX, TouchDesigner, TouchOSC and Resolume were explored.
In this developed weather space, dancers and musicians were confronted with body perception practices to perceive the weather, translate it into movement, sound and language.
In relation to the term metaverse, the prefix meta- describes the seamless transition between the analog and digital world.
Similar to how the metaverse presents a digitized version of a human character,
in the room installation „Meta“ we have attempted to create an analog representation of the digital world.
On the one hand, we use mirrors and projection to depict the visitor’s avatarisation, thus creating a Selfie-space. On the other hand, video and sound content describe the virtual character of the Metaverse in which we create a cosmos that is controlled in an inhuman way by data and algorithms.
In our work process, we have tried to avoid the subjectivity of our personal perception to emphasize our concern about this form of technical emulation and created content that is designed and animated according to randomized specifications and formulas.
This creates a strange but also fascinating emptiness that appears rational and objective, although there is absolutely no specific content.
Together with the Dutch/Belgian musicians and artists Hester Bolle and Anne van de Star aka
Monomono, we concepted a stage setup and produced video and light content for a 45 min
show, which was performed live at Trix Antwerp.
Monomono is an audiovisual act on tour and can be booked ⟶ here.
"Monomono - Icon" is an electroacoustic, audiovisual live-show.
The audience is invited to encounter light, sound and video projections submerge into an immersive experience.
The music proposes a narrative of forgotten or previously muted female heroines and combines that with the relatively new fear of a complete digitalisation and assetification of all cultural goods through the ideas of Web 3.0. These thoughts are transported in the language of form and content and thus present a counterplay between female heroism and hyperdigitality.
Music Video for the band Monomono from Antwerp.
Experimental Project using Nasa Raw Images shot in 20 years of the Cassini Mission.
By editing and reworking more than 1.5 million single pictures shot by the space probe Cassini in the time between 1997 until 2017, this is the first music video shot in destinations more far away than any other before.
For a special audiovisual concert at Postpalast Munich, we produced 360° video content specially for
Tschaikowskis Symphony No. 4, which was performed live in a 360° video environment with the
Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
