Rohschnitt

2016

Description: »Rohschnitt« (Rough Cut, 2016) is a virtual and hybrid, rough cut cardboard model of an exhibition space filled with an interactive, complex archive of sound, noise and vibration. The sounds embedded in the room represent sounds recorded when constructing the model from scratch, from cardboard and paper, and when reworking the model and sounds on the computer: raw, rough sounds of drawing, cutting, creasing, folding, ripping, copying, pasting and reediting; acoustic fragments of an artist‘s ‘work in progress’. The online work was specifically created for the sound art exhibition ‘Hörschwelle’ at the project space of Deutscher Künstlerbund in Berlin. Base to the interactive work is the small-scale cardboard model, approximately equivalent to the specific exhibition space and its sequence of rooms; photographed and ‘filled’ with (analog and digital) acoustic and material debris, with the tools and sculptural studio work still in place. ‘Rohschnitt’ is a site-specific conceptual work of sound art, short-listed for the ‘Schloss-Post web residency #2’ at Schloss Solitude, Germany 2016; and first exhibited at ‘ Hörschwelle’, Deutscher Künstlerbund, Berlin 2016. The generative film projection embeds multiple layers of hidden, static and moving interfaces. Touch and explore objects with the cursor, click at or pause to generate
your individual composition of noise and beauty written into the exhibition space.
