- Description
- In »UR« (2006) surfaces and vessels become the containers for unwanted noise and ‘dirt’ generated by technological media and communication. Bits and pieces of grinding, creaking, humming sounds and white noise create complex microcosms, generated by viewers when they touch or click, hover and pause, approach or roll over the given visual containers with their mouse cursor. The multi-part interactive film and sound projection is based on an extensive archive of ‘Noise & Beauty’: of recordings of ephemeral, interfering radio waves in between radio stations, of ‘audio dust’, of static and noise, which the artist has been compiling since 1987 — until today.
