first performance 23. 9. 2006 Festival Interface, Small water reservoir Berlin

The visual concept follows the idea of 'media without media': netlike structures, which were applied onto transparencies,
are projected onto the walls of the reservoir with a focused light source. The alignment of the transperencies in serveral
layers results in overlays which lead to an animation effect when the mobile lamp is moved.
In the auditory realm the visual pattern were transformed into many different noise patterns and structures. These are
projected into the space with a mobile speaker. Interferences occur through reflections on the many walls of the reservoir
and through overlays with sounds that are played through a stationary four-channel loudspeaker system. All sounds are
controlled and triggered in realtime by the performer through a game-interface connected to a laptop and a wireless
connection to a second computer.
Visual and auditive movement in the space was created by the movement of the performers with the mobile light- and
sound sources, by interferences of different sound sources and their reflections, by overlays of the patterns on
the transperencies according to the movement of the mobile lamp, and also through the movement of the audience and
their changing viewing and listening perspectives.
