MUSIK DIDACTIC
(Multimedia exhibition, Zurich)
In October 2003 an exhibition about Electronic Music during the 1980's and 1990's was organised by Frederike Hansen in the Shedhalle gallery in Zürich. Due to the non-visual nature of the material on show (vinyl albums, CDs, videotapes, books), the display installation was going to become the most eye-catching aspect of the exhibition.
Using a few images as basic grammatical elements (the freight lorry in which the acoustic material arrived at the gallery, the fully interactive-fully technological exterior-interior faces of a mobile phone, the hyper personal space of sound-proof recording cabins and the landscapes of continuity of skate-parks) we combined them in a simple syntactic exercise. The result is a sliced-up prism made out of timber frames and stretched recycled lorry fabric. Each slice can slide in virtue of its wheels, thus revealing a gap through which the visitor can access the interior. A landscape of inflated and illuminated bouncy balls provided improvised seating to browse through the music and literature on display.
