Schlosslichtspiele: 300 Fragments

A projection as part of »Schlosslichtspiele«

The past, present, and future of Karlsruhe are translated into an abstract visual language and an overpowering sound composition, to be projected onto the Palace until it burns out and melts, disintegrating into millions of pixels and then reassembling itself. Following a brief introduction, an initial dream phase illustrates the legend of the city’s origin and the plans of Margrave Karl Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach. The story goes on, even extending into the future. From classical music to abstract sound experiments, a soundtrack accompanies this journey through time until the projection finally gives way to an abstract stream of data.
