Media Facade / Light Architecture | Luminale 2012, Biennale of Lighting Culture | April 15th - 20th 2012 | Frankfurt a.M. (Germany)

“Cities are noisy. Frankfurt is noisy. Traffic, people, radio, tv, cell­­phones, internet. The media facade of the Sparda-Bank Hessen headquarters visualizes this invisible, ubiquitous noise by varying brightness, light colours and movements. For this purpose we collected frequencies and sounds in the urban space of Frankfurt to generate our procedural animations.”

Contribution to the exhibit “The Evolution Of Noise” in the course of Luminale 2012 | April 15th - 20th 2012 | 21h – 7h
Sparda-Bank headquarters, Osloer Straße 2, 60327 Frankfurt am Main | Related web app: luminale.heavygermanshit.com

Audio-Visual Scenography / Conception & Media Installations | April 2011 | Kunsthaus Rhenania | Köln (Germany)

W.G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz tracks the journey of self-discovery, a search for both identity and memories, undertaken by it’s protagonist Jacques Austerlitz. His search for identity is implemented dramaturgically as a Stationendrama (station-drama) of the most important places in his self-discovery and consists of nine installation-based substations.

An intermedia staging of the play is created that will develop a new theatrical form between performance and theatre, artistic installation, video art & experimental sound. Within this, a narrator represents the principal guiding force, leading the audience chronologically through the action. The dramaturgic sequence is like a journey through the landscape of the protagonist’s soul.

More information on the collaborative project here. Austerlitz is conducted with the following cooperators:
