music for another ‚freak-out‘ performance

The mixed-ability dance group from Carinthia, freak out, has created a new performance called ‚we wait‘, for which I made the music. We will play twice in the hall of the station in Pörtschach. There is an exhibition on the process of the creation in the gallery of the railway building, ‚Galerie ZUGängliche Kunst‘. hope to see you there!

If ever you pass by train through Velden in Carinthia, there are posters of the freak out group visible in the windows of the station Velden.

Arnhemse Bomen Vertellen prolonged until december 15th!

The installation Arnhemse Bomen Vertellen had a lot of success and is prolongued until december 15th!

If you have a chance to visit the beautiful parks of Arnhem, meet amazing trees, get info in real time about the tree’s exchange with their surroundings, like co2 exchange, horizontal and vertical growth, the influence of the moon on the trees and many more! You will also listen to my music composed for chosen trees. All good reasons to go there, and many more! More info on https://arnhemsebomenvertellen.nl.

i want to lea­ve the track of neu­ro­ty­pi­cal thin­king and immer­se in a dif­fe­rent kind of con­tact: ​“it is not linear. it is fluid and flexi­ble, kind of like a pri­va­te wiki­pe­dia that i am con­stant­ly revi­sing and edi­ting, but instead of words, eve­ry­thing is writ­ten in my own ever-evol­ving lan­gu­a­ge of hier­o­gly­phic films fil­led with hyper­links to asso­ci­a­ted and often irre­le­vant thoughts… i am utter­ly inca­pa­ble of having one thought wit­hout at least ano­ther hund­red coming along for the ride…” is how autis­tic come­di­an han­nah gads­by descri­bes her train of thought.

Arnhemse bomenvertellen

If you are near Arnhem in the Netherlands during summer, pass by Sonsbeek Park to see amazing trees, see and hear data about their well-being transmitted through sensors, listen to the tree’s stories picked up by a tree whisperer and hear how they grow.

Visit the artistic installation from 15 June to 15 September 2024 in Sonsbeekpark, Zijpendaal and Gulden Bodem (Arnhem) at every hour of the day or night. Make sure to bring headphones! Visitor centre Molenplaats Sonsbeek is open from Wednesday till Saturday from 10.00 till 16.00h. Sunday from 11.00 till 16.00h.

Thanks to Anaïs Berck, a collective of humans, trees and algorithms, to invite me to compose the music for this installation!

the new ones are out!

they are part of the series forms (of being), where i use details found in nature that are amplify and dipped into color. they are living beings to me, parts of rock, ice, snow, earth. this time, i painted on canvas that was mounted onto these chairs, with the help and gift of wonderful Luisa Wammes.

Save the date!

2. JUNI um 17:00 – 20:00h in Klagenfurt ich bin keine Küche

Parteitag der Kunst (II) unter dem Vorsitz von Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897–2000)

»Die Leute glauben immer, ich bin eine Küchenarchitektin, so wie sie glauben, ich sei eine Frauenrechtlerin. Beides stimmt nicht. Ich bin eine alte Systematikerin und habe mich in meiner Arbeit immer nach den funktionalen Notwendigkeiten gerichtet.«

»Ich bin keine Küche (…) Hätte ich gewusst, dass ich ein Leben lang über diese verdammte Küche sprechen muss, dann hätte ich sie nie gebaut.«

all and parts

the part must be studied as part of a whole; the whole must be studied as being made up of parts; one may not in studying a part neglect it’s place and function in the whole, nor in looking at the whole forget that it is an assemblage, an ensemble of working parts. the system is a system and operates as a system, but it only operates properly if every part performs in good working order.

the specialist may specialize only in terms of an adequate general view.

rober lax, poesie der entschleunigung

days like this

es gibt tage, da habe ich das gefühl, ich verstehe alles. ich tue etwas, bin voll im moment, & gleichzeitig bewußt, dass ich das tue, kann zur selben zeit denken und fühlen. das beruhigt mich, gibt mir sicherheit. so als erlebe ich die situation von innen und außen simultan. mir wird schwindlig.

ich schau mir selber zu.

und dann gibt es die anderen tage (die deutlich in der mehrzahl sind): da bin ich irritiert und verstehe gar nichts. interessant ist, dass es als complètement insurmontable erscheint, auch nur annährungsweise in die gefilde dieser zuversicht zu gelangen, die mir innewohnt an den tagen, wo ich gefühlt alles verstehe (wer weiß, ob dem auch so ist). andererseits ist es sehr wohl möglich, an den tagen (oder momenten) der zuversicht ein gewisses mitgefühl zu spüren mit den tagen & momenten der irritation. wie gelingt es, wenn man nichts versteht, an dieses gefühl von weite, wärme und einer existierenden bodenhaftigkeit anzuknüpfen?

re-reading the lecture of nothing by john cage…

on the destructive effect of wars

some excerpts:

environmental crimes in war are war crimes

a tank consumes 250l of fuel per 100km on the road, in the terrain a multiple of it

Wars cause massive environmental damage, what about damage that cannot be repaired at all? 

„We delude ourselves of how unsustainable change processes are and how high the risk of relapse into traditional patterns is“

We really have work to do! It’s time for the big polluters to be held accountable.
