A program of outstanding audiovisual performances on the fragility of our contemporary condition, it's radical affirmation and speculative expansion. Curated in collaboration with transmediale.
 
The fragility of global atmospheric, economic, technological and cultural coherences  demands general awareness. With its thematic focuss DEEP NORTH, the performance program of transmediale.09 presents works of artists who reflect on the damageable and sensitive nature of our environment. Radical affirmation and speculative expansion are keys with which these artists open our contemporary condition up for change.
 
Domnitch and Gelfand spin thin slivers of gold freely in acoustic suspension. A standing wave holds the fragile material floating in the air. "Sonolevitation" is the first in a series of projects in preparation for microgravitational, near-vacuous environments and unfolds a sonic speculation on the neutralization of gravity.
 
"Untitled Sound Objects" is a series of works in which Pe Lang and Zimoun explore the properties of sound, materials, resonance and generative systems. Motors cause glass plates to vibrate and excite objects of various shape. The resulting oscillations create a sublime sonic landscape.
