SKALAR - the exhibition cycle

Installation performance from Christopher Bauder and Kangding Ray with WHITEvoid features an array of mechanical mirrors guiding laser lights in various ways:

SKALAR is a large-scale art installation that explores the complex impact of light and sound on human perception. Light artist Christopher Bauder and musician Kangding Ray give an audio-visual narration of radiant light vector drawings and multi-dimensional sound inside the pitch-dark industrial space of Kraftwerk Berlin. By combining a vast array of kinetic mirrors, perfectly synchronized moving lights and a sophisticated multi-channel sound system, SKALAR reflects on the fundamental nature and essence of basic human emotions. 

As of writing, you can catch a performance on the 24th and 25th of February at Kraftwerk Berlin [link]

Mobile City As if we were alone Empfangshalle (Corbinian Böhm, Michael Gruber, DE)

The artistic duo Empfangshalle has conducted research on the behavior of cell phone users. Their actions/performances staged to achieve specific effects and reactions visualize the new spaces and gestures engendered while cell phone users are on the line. Having come to the realization that “Whoever uses his cell phone in public disassociates himself from his surroundings via real or virtual spaces,” the artists formulated and constructed prototypes of “mobile telephoning spaces” that will be offered in conjunction with a worldwide telephone service. The project will be carried out at several locations in downtown Linz. An infostation with details about As if we were alone will be set up in the Brucknerhaus.
