MicroSonical Shining Biospheres No. 1 (2009)
"Luminous SOUND" as "emerging existence" in space and time – "sounding LIGHT" as "existing emergence" of time in space
With this motto, media artists
So-called "micro acoustic, colored light biospheres," quasi artificially created imaginary environments for multifarious "audio-light hybrids" arise by means of the acoustic-scientific "sound microscopics" (endo-sono-microscopics) specially developed by Joachim Krebs in the mid 1990s, and "audio slowmotion."
These in-between beings, continually moving between real-unreal, concrete-abstract, and natural-artificial, can exist solely in such artificially generated "sound light habitats" and can only be experienced by museum visitors live, on-site.
The two natural phenomena, color and light, on the contrary, are "composed" as a largely abstract, reference-less "event" through monochrome color oscillations and specific light-dark movement choreographies in time and space.
