Invisible Geographies

The Kitchen, New York

New Sound Art from Germany

Jens Brand, Christina Kubisch, Stefan Rummel, and Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag

Curated by Christoph Cox
Using the invisible networks of sound waves and electromagnetic signals that circulate around us, the four installations in this show trace the physical topography of the audible world to produce alternative maps of our surroundings.
Invisible Geographies is part of the citywide European Dream Festival and is made possible with support from the ifa - Institut fur Auslandsbeziehungen, Stuttgart e.V. and with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

In conjunction with the exhibition Invisible Geographies: New Sound Art from Germany, Berlin-based artist Carsten Nicolai, whose minimalist, post-techno music is released under the name alva noto, presents the United States premiere of his latest live solo work for laptop and video. Using a range of quotidian audio and visual sources, including Muzak, melodies from TV advertisements, and elevator bell tones, Nicolai submits this material to a series of compressions, multiplications, scale changes, and shifts in resolution that gradually progress into digital noise and visual abstraction.
