„trans-Art hat sich im wilden Osten Österreichs noch nicht herumgesprochen“, dieses Zitat stammt vom Programmchef des Café Korb in Wien, Franz Schubert. Diese Äußerung konnte man in der Artlounge nicht überhören, war wegen dem handverlesenen Publikum, die zur trans-Art Performance mit Sebastian Jolles und mir gekommen waren, offenbar treffend. Avantgarde ist halt nicht Mainstream. Empfehlenswert ist dieses Gespräch allemal, enthält es einen ehrlichen Nachruf zu Peter Weibel, der am Vortag der trans-Art Performance gestorben war.

tx-reverse 360° | Ausstellungseröffnung

10.10.2018

Zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung »tx-reverse 360°« [10.10.2018 – 10.02.2019] präsentieren die beiden Künstler Martin Reinhart und Virgil Widrich geschichtliche Hintergünde, Entstehungsprozess und technische Besonderheiten ihrer Rauminstallation. Bereits in den 1990er-Jahren erfand Martin Reinhart eine Filmtechnik namens »tx-transform«, welche die Zeit (t)- und die Raumachse (x) im Film miteinander vertauscht. 20 Jahre nachdem die beiden Künstler diese Filmtechnik erstmals in einem Kurzfilm einsetzten (»tx-transform«, 1998), beschäftigen sie sich erneut mit der Frage, welche bisher ungesehene Welt bei der Vertauschung von Raum und Zeit entsteht.

Karl-Heinz Land. Erde 5.0 | Lecture

[25.10.2018, OpenHUB]

Warum die Digitalisierung dafür sorgt, dass wir keinen zweiten Planeten brauchen.
Ein Ende des Bevölkerungswachstums ist nicht abzusehen. Aber lässt sich die Ernährung von rund elf Milliarden Menschen in Zukunft nicht nur garantieren, sondern sogar qualitativ verbessern? Können wir Hunger und Armut beenden und gleichzeitig das Klima besänftigen? Karl-Heinz Land ist sicher: Das funktioniert, wenn der Megatrend der Dematerialisierung und die Digitalisierung intelligent verknüpft werden.
Dies ist eine gekürzte Fassung des Vortrags.

///

Why digitization means we do not need a second planet.
An end to population growth is not in sight. But can the nutrition of around eleven billion people not only be guaranteed in the future, but even improved in quality? Can we end hunger and poverty and at the same time calm the climate? Karl-Heinz Land is certain: This works if the global trend of dematerialization and digitization are intelligently combined.
This is an abbreviated version of the presentation.

::vtol:: oil | Interaktive Installation

Interaktive Installation in der Sammlung des ZKM | Karlsruhe

Die Grundidee dieses Projektes ist es, den AusstellungsbesucherInnen die Möglichkeit zu geben, jedes Objekt zu zerstören, das sie zufällig bei sich tragen, um es in eine einzigartige Klangkomposition zu verwandeln. Im Zuge der Zerstörung nimmt ein spezielles Mikrofon die Geräusche auf, ein Algorithmus verwandelt sie in ein 20-minütiges Album.

Open Codes | Installation

Interaktive Installation in der Ausstellung »Open Codes« (20.10.2017 bis 06.01.2019)

»YOU:R:CODE« eröffnet die Ausstellung »Open Codes«. Die Installation transformiert die BesucherInnen auf verschiedene Arten. Sehen sie im Eingang noch das eigene Spiegelbild – das realste virtuelle Abbild, das wir uns vorstellen können – wird das Spiegelbild zunehmend in einen digitalen Datenkörper transformiert, bis die BesucherInnen zuletzt auf einen industriell lesbaren Code reduziert werden.

Kunst in Bewegung. 100 Meisterwerke mit und durch Medien | Vortrag

Do, 06.09.2018

Im Rahmen der Ausstellung »Kunst in Bewegung« spricht Morgane Stricot, Restauratorin für Medienkunst am ZKM, zur »Konservierung digitaler Kunst«.

Fakt ist: Das ZKM weist sich innerhalb der Ausstellungsszene als ein ein Ort des Experimentierens aus, als Ort der Präsentation und der Vermittlung. Die Konservierung der in der Sammlung befindlichen Medienkunstwerke hat einen ähnlichen experimentellen Ansatz.

Das interdisziplinäre Team des ZKM wurde seit jeher ermutigt, mit Forschungsergebnissen und Theorien zu experimentieren und dann auf die Sammlung anzuwenden. Dies gilt umso mehr, da sich das ZKM auf die Ausstellung der eigenen Medien- und digitalen Kunstsammlung im nächsten Jahr vorbereitet - auch unter Berücksichtigung des exponentiellen Anstiegs der konservatorischen Herausforderungen, die mit dieser Art von Kunstwerken verbunden sind.

Shibayama. Imaginary Sphere | Sound installation

30.06.2018 to 01.07.2018

The boundaries between music and non-music – who defines them and where are these boundaries? Guest artist and scholar Takuro Shibayama has dedicated his creative work to breaking up this separation. In his composition »Imaginary Sphere« a computer program abstracts the audible elements. The composition is based on recordings of participants in a composition workshop with electroacoustic music.

smARTplaces | INNOVATION in Culture | Conference

3/01/2018 - 03/02/2018, Media Theater

Alain Bieber, nrw Forum, Düsseldorf

From March 1st to 2nd, 2018, the conference »smARTplaces | INNOVATION in Culture« takes place at the ZKM | Karlsruhe as part of the EU project »smARTplaces«.
Not only is digitization now in art’s DNA, cultural institutions are beginning to embark on disruptive paths in order to facilitate and support innovative processes. The »smARTplaces | INNOVATION in Culture« conference analyzes possibilities, and also necessities, of digital renewal within culture and spotlights audience development.
The first of three conferences, »smARTplaces | INNOVATION in Culture« investigates the relationship between visitor, institution, and technology. Over the course of two days, innovation talks, experience flights, fishbowls, workshops, and seminars engage with themes connected with and deriving from cultural work at the beginning of the twenty-first century: Who are our visitors? How can we get to know more about them? And what are we permitted to know about them in order that we, as a cultural institution, do not lose our corrective function vis à vis social developments? Of what relevance are technologies such as games, AR, and VR – which art is already utilizing – for dialogue with the visitors and what scenarios – with regard to AI – will be on their way in the upcoming years?
With experience design of cultural offerings, design thinking in work processes, and change management of institutional structure, the conference aims to accompany the cultural institution during its development into the »museum as a source of experience«, a place of exploring, discovering, and developing.
Speakers scheduled for the conference are amongst others Christian Ulrik Andersen (Aarhus University), Alain Bieber (nrw Forum, Düsseldorf), Björn Bohnenkamp (Karlshochschule International University Karlsruhe), Lourdes Fernandez (Azkuna Zentroa Bilbao), Michela Magas (Music Tech Fest/ »European Woman Innovator of the Year«), Oliver Rack (Open Government Partnership Germany), Margit Rosen (ZKM | Karlsruhe), Paula Susaeta (Mapfre Foundation, Majadahonda/ Spain), Peter Weibel (ZKM Karlsruhe), Martin Zierold (Hochschule für Musik und Theater, Hamburg).
