Audiovisual_Installation
The audiovisual installation of UNKNOWN SPACES in Vienna was composed of two integral components:
1.The video part with 18 flatscreen-monitors organized in 6 groups consisting of 3 monitors each (Vienna, NYC, Nairobi). On these monitors the visitors could observe and via headphones listen to the 66 hands of 66 individuals on 3 continents performing their subjective live-maps.
2.The audio part consisted of 9+3 speakers. A generative algorithmic composition created in collaboration with Swiss sound-artist Samuel Gfeller, dislpayed rhythmical patterns from an archive of marimba-recordings, imitating the different rhythms and melodies of languages to 9 loudspeakers. On 3 extra-speakers mounted on stands on head-level, the composition reflected an actual discussion between people. Like this, the most important „knowledge-moments“ out of the 33 interviews with UN-officials in Europe, America and Africa became shared experience.
