A programme of sound works and live-performances by
international artists in the Vienna MuseumsQuartier and at the “Übergangsnutzung Schlossareal Berlin”. These artists’ multi-channelled compositions go well beyond the standard stereophonic experience, creating captivating acoustic architectures and sound spaces.

In Episode 5 of Sound Builders, we cooked up an Electronic Banquet with renowned sound installation artist Liz Phillips. Liz has created dozens of amazing interactive sound and multimedia installations that have been displayed in underground spots like the Whitney Museum of American Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She once tuned 110 pounds of spaghetti on a single table.
At her Brooklyn lab-kitchen, Liz tells us about her approach before creating a cacophonous environment out of a gourmet meal with the help of TV chef Sam Mason. And it sounds as delicious as it sounds.

this reminds me of those drumline movies where they make marching band seem awesome. which it is not. but this is pretty dope.

DATAFLUX investigates the possibilities of using live software codes to render synesthetic audio and visual experiences. The installation uses a software counting mechanism to step between scenes and sequences. Projections are beamed onto a motorised mirror allowing for wider displacement which is also triggered via the same system. Size and locations for the reshaping white squares are changed on every beat, allowing for the movement streams that you can see, this relocation creates an internal message that allows the software to fluidly render these changes. It is this concept of a self automated system that I aim to represent with this work. I also wanted to visually represent the mechanics of the software program.
As of yet this installation will last one minute twenty before the viewer will be presented with a loop point, however with further development there are perpetual transformations that could be possible. The sound is made up of four pre-rendered two channel linear streams that are re-triggered every 30 seconds, developed in a way to seem to be a more complex live point to point triggering system. Heavy bass information was present and a strobe effect is also triggered once every 60 seconds. I wanted to include these elements to heighten the sensory effects the work has on the participant. This installation aims to represent the notion of pushing capacities in order to assist us in envisaging further developments. The layout of the cubes is based on the existence of a large pillar located in the centre of the room.
I am planning for Engimatica in February to more dynamically represent a digitally choreographed environment. To my indiscretion and perhaps paradoxically, Enigmatica will be made up of a completely pre-rendered looping linear stream or ‘film’, there will be no live software elements.

disc. @ centrum beeldende kunst rotterdam 2010 from muk on Vimeo.
KUNSTPLATFORM DE KAPSALON invited me to show my installation disc. at the museumnight in the center for fine arts in rotterdam on 6.3. 2010.
Wow ! This was a massive test for my installation and it survived without any damages. The new feature “the red button” rocked totally and the people used it more often then expected. I was super surprised and happy to see the people rockin my instrument. They loved it !! And i´ve experienced sounds and patterns never heard before from the disc.
