| studio mimesis, putzbrunn, munich, germany [architect: peter haimerl] | |||||
| Project | nexialist
conducted a nexialist operation in the studio building mimesis on
may 15 2004. the building as such was used as a sound creation device
in this operation. located in putzbrunn, munich, germany, the studio
complex consists of two cube-shaped buildings ca. 6 x 6 x 6 m each,
one of which, with two pneumatic transparent vinyl facades, was
used for the operation. |
||||
| Content | the
resulting sounds were recorded by electro-acoustic, digital-acoustic
and digital-video means. during
and in the course of the operation the created and recorded sound
material was processed in situ and used as the source of an electro-acoustic
/ digital-acoustic improvised composition. |
||||
| Intention | the
specific spacial acoustic characteristics of the building were utilized
for the creation, projection and recording of the recorded and processed
sound. the result is an acoustic signature equaling a spacial-acoustic
context, portraying the identity of the building/space in successive
levels via the motif of the "turning of the mask" as described
by vilem flusser. |
||||
| Quality | the
particular and unique acoustic quality of the building is constituted
by the 6 x 6 m pneumatic facade made of two layers of transparent
vinyl in a metal frame continuously filled with air via pump located
in the building basement. this facade system was used in combination
with the size of the building interior as the acoustic instrument
of the operation |
