staTdT_kunst _ berlin.26.09.09

BERLIN.26.09.09
is part of the ongoing project staTdT_kunst by Hannes
Raffaseder (soundd., livep.) & Kurt Hörbst (visuals, livep.).
The title has two different meanings: 'statt Kunst'
(instead of art) deals with the role and significance of
(contemporary) art in our society, while 'stadt kunst'
(city art) uses field recordings of specific sounds and
videos sourced in the city as basic material for an audiovisual live-performance.
Filtered through the artists subjective point of view, this
footage is deconstructed, categorised, transformed,
and then re-assembled into a site specific audio-visual
live performance.
The project 'staTdT_kunst' began with a performance
in in Linz in March 2002 and has grown to include new
cities and new results (such as Belfast, Braunschweig,
Vienna, Edinburgh, Zurich, Amsterdam, Athens or Copenhagen)
Raffaseder and Hörbst collect their material (ambience
sounds of the city, voices of people passing by, soundmarks,
site specific noise, fotos, video,…) during the
course of one single day. The footage will then be
transformed and remixed in realtime
during the performance. ___www.stadtkunst.com___
