Space Tme refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at the exact right speed compared to another clock. That is, aftersome time the clock “drifts apart” or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. Everyday clocks such as wristwatches have finite precision. Eventually they require correction to remain accurate. The rate of…
The Dijkstra algorithm solves the single-source shortest path problem.For a given source node in the graph, the algorithm finds the shortest path between that node and every other. It can also be used for finding the shortest paths from a single node to a single destination node by stopping the algorithm once the shortest path…
This work explores the concept of beauty through the lens of the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) algorithm, using discarded wooden boards found on the streets.
Enactments of social media content These hypothetical machines are present but not quite legible. They exist in a state of potentiality. They are informed by the digital even when not in digital format, they are shaped by a sense of data excess and data vulnerability. They are about thought-experiments and speculative enactements. Things Are Not…
The Optimize machine is outfitted with an “activity tracker”, an electronic device that generates data from the machine’s motions, displaying calorie consumption. The tracker data is used for a soundscape.
One year long every day a new video with animatronics and postings tagged with #me. identity construction through social media #me mimicks the conditions of social media. This work does not answer the multiplicity of identities, but takes up everything in its infinite soliloquy. Animatronics recite content from social network platforms, hinting at the role…
As a mean of measure, electric field sensing tells us about a strange and invisible physical world.
“Paint By Numbers” is about serendipity. It deals with the accident of finding something good or useful while not specifically searching for it.
Sim Gishel is a mulitmedia robot. He sings and dances to become a popstar.
Wherever electric current exists, magnetic field is also induced. This means that plants as all living organisms, which utilise electric current in their biology emit weak electromagnetic fields. This installation makes use of a noncontact method for measuring electric fields for the sonification of the plants. I hear the buzz of the little world among…
Wind Park Drone is about the sound of wind turbines and guided tours to discover the versatile and interesting sounds.
Airplane lift off and landing sung by The Choir of World Cultures. Like it or not, the drone of planes taking off and landing at Tegel is undoubtedly a significant part of the airport’s presence. These noises will vanish with the closing of the airport. We have recorded some samples of this drone at the air corridor….
A multimedia opera with robots and overheard mobile conversations in four acts. “I’m sitting in the train. Where are you?” Everyone has a mobile phone these days and what was once a conversation in closed rooms is nowadays happening in the public sphere. The mindless phone monologues in busses and trains have irritated the German…
BLOWER deals with statistic logfile analysis and data representation. The installation is connected to the internet and automatically determines through a perl script the search terms employed to find a a specific web host.
Karl Heinz Jeron collects carelessly discarded objects while walking through the city. With minimal electronic circuits he makes these objects sound. He has been inspired by the text Supernatural Apparitions and Domestic Life in Japan by Kazuhiko Komatsu.There he describes the concept of Ushirometasa. “Although it has largely been forgotten since disposability became the…
