techno2

Netherlands Media Art Institute, Amsterdam

Exhibition in cooperation with the 5 days off festival

Bad Radar, Nathalie Bruys, Candela 2, Farmers Manual, Grønlund Nisunen, Edo Paulus & Robert Jan Leegte, Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag and Telco Systems

Under the title techno², during 5 days off there will be eight spectacular sound installations and twelve performances to be seen (and heard) at the Netherlands Media Art Institute. The thread running through techno² is the way in which the techno and alternative electronic music culture has influenced the visual arts and media art, which in turn have been influential on the development of techno and electronic music.

Numerous aspects from techno and electronic music are to be found in the installations and five performance evenings of techno²: the spatial qualities of music and sound; temporary escape from everyday reality; the search for boundaries, in which it becomes unclear whether the source of the image or music is human or machine.

The Finnish duo Grønlund Nisunen presents Ultrasound, an installation in which only localized sound can be heard, sound in the form of a beam. From the international group Farmers Manual, visitors can borrow helmets which send meditative ultrasound waves through your head. A Momentary Lapse by the German duo Candela 2 permits the viewer to make his or her own audio and visual sculpture. Nathalie Bruys will be making an entirely new installation, and the new installation by Telco Systems will have its world premiere.

LIVE PROGRAM techno²

July 13 – 17

In the live program of Techno² a procession of various Live Cinema acts and alternative sound performances comes through. Codespace (Switz.) takes you along on a hypnotic journey over virtual slopes and through crystal structures arising from algorithmic processes. The performance of Aymeric Mansoux (France) and Tom Schouten (Belgium) is a growing process. The four men from Institut für Feinmotorik (Germany) are strictly analog, with eight turntables without needles.
