SURROUND VISUAL MUSIC BY MARC FEIGENSPAN & WOLF NKOLE HELZLE
Since we saw the first photographs of our planet from space in the last century, it is actually clear rather that we come into a time of the globalization. It is however still to be observed that individual humans with the globalization and their effects do rather heavily. Contrary to among other things the economy, in which the advantages of global proceedings and markets clearly one recognizes and one use/uses. The advantages for the particular are not so fast obvious, are not nevertheless only them in the commercial, as for example to the easier travel. We stand for the challenge before that we have to understand and to integrate it in our daily actions that everyone of us is a part of entire mankind and that we can survive including our planet only as mankind, no longer only than single or Nation ego. Consciousness, a part of the 6 billion counting mankind to be, is worthwhile/necessary, flows nevertheless the increase in value of the whole one immediately back on the in such a way adjusted particular.
VISUALS
The German Media Artist Wolf Nkole Helzle has collected more than 18.000 portraits from around the world (the work is already in progress). A specially developed software determines numerous reference points on each face and projects these via one to four video projector(s) on to suitable surfaces (inside or outside a building), aprox 6 x 5 meters in size (or bigger). The faces are not just projected, they are also morphed slowly into one another using a real-time morphing process. The order in which these faces are morphed constantly changes.
MUSIC
The German musician and composer Marc Feigenspan is collecting music and sounds from all over the world. Some of his favorite recordings are layerd with ambient sounds of cities and nature. Like a DJ, Feigenspan mixes live a combination of music and sound effects in 5.1 Dolby Surround technology on high fidelity high-end loudspeakers. This mix moves around or wanders in circles through the room. Audio is never synchronised to picture. The visitors are invited to stay inside the installation for as long as feel. In the past, audiences have sojourned there for hours to immerse themselves into a state of ambient audio-visual trance.
