Description
Together with the SWR Experimental Studio, the ZKM | Centre for Art and Media annually awards the Giga-Hertz Award for Electronic Music. The 2021 award winner is sound artist Christina Kubisch, who receives the main award of 10,000 euros for her pioneering life's work.
Christina Kubisch talks about her artistic coming-of-age, which began in the late 1960s as a student of painting and as a flutist. In the lecture, she illuminates her passion for making the hidden visible through technology, her fascination with spaces and locations, and aesthetic forks in the road that led her to her current multimedia art.
