FriLexachast, a collaboration between PAN label founder Bill Kouligas, futuristic sound design duo Amnesia Scanner and artist Harm van den Dorpel, will connect transmediale and CTM in a joint evening at Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
The mangled, dystopian soundtrack revolves around van den Dorpel’s generative, live-streaming visuals, based on algorithms to filter random, NSFW content from across the widest reaches of the internet. Often provocative, these visuals appear as surprises to even the performers, referencing our culpability and vulnerability at the feet of the internet’s torrential overkill of material.
The artists have also published an online version of the project. Visit lexachast.com.
Amnesia Scanner[INT]
