Description:
LED-lights are being hanged in a 3D-grid. This grid is constructed in a site-specific manner. Located in a museum, a public space, an abandoned building or any architectural environment, "Longing circuits" creates vibrating space, based on surrounding sounds.
"Longing circuits" is situated in the tradition of John Cage. It represents John Cage's most famous sentence: "The world is all sound, the world is always sound" in a graphical and architectural way. By isolating environmental sounds and transforming them to an ever changing 3D-space, the psychological directness of spatial awareness links with the focus on the amplified sounds. A space is created that's constantly thrilling and exciting, sometimes quiet, sometimes loud, sometimes darkened, sometimes lit, but always reminiscent of a world where - in the end - there is really no difference between sound and light, between waves and materials, between music and architecture. |
