Idea

I want to create a coherent system in which the movement of an individual conditions sound which again conditions video. So if there is no movement there is nothing. As you'll see in the sketch below I want to use a laser to measure the changing distance caused by the individual moving on a certain line up to the laser. This line is divided into sections. Every section means another sound, every sound means another video. And as I sad at the beginning: If there is no movement there is nothing (or quotes referring to the theme which is WORK). I don't know yet what the guitar strings are there for. I just would like to work with them, maybe building a scratchy sonic environment additionally to the sounds that'll be played. These should be of rhythmic, mechanic nature as the video should show working beings. I would also like to create an intérieur for the room.

"Die Krach-Musik stürmt die Maschine, indem sie ihr die Geräusche wegnimmt und diese zertrümmert, zerlegt, verwandelt. Indem sie den Maschinenlärm aus unserem Alltag reißt, einmal um sich selbst dreht und zur Musik macht, während das, was heute vorgibt Musik zu sein, lediglich die Fortsetzung der Maschine ist, die den Menschen selbst durch seine Freizeit hindurch am tönenden Fließband hält. Es geht darum, die Kontrollmechanismen zu decodieren, und das schließt die dauernde Reflexion des eigenen Mediums mit ein" (I'll translate it later.)


„… aber eine Musik kann wie ein Bild, ein Gedicht oder ein Buch Nachricht geben vom desolaten Stand der Gesellschaft, sie kann mitwirken, kann Bewusstsein stiften, wenn ihre technischen Qualitäten sich auf der Höhe der ideologischen halten.“ "... but music like a picture, a poem or a book can report of the desolate condition of the society, it can contribute, it can raise awareness if its technical qualities are at the same level as the ideological ones." - Luigi Nono (1969)
