Sound Installations by Strotter Inst.
“San Jose” by Peter Segerstrom.
»Evil Decoder (Ouiji Subwoofer)«, 2006. A modified subwoofer which vibrates a Ouiji Pointer over Ouiji letters, spelling out the sinister directives that have been encoded in all popular music as subliminal messages. By Jon Sasaki.
“Broadway” is a five-channel sound installation comprising the columns that run through the gallery space and the entire building. The five columns, transmitting subtle vibrations generated by movement on the street and subway below, are transformed into loudspeakers, each of which plays out the sounds of Broadway in its individual resonant frequency. By Jacob Kirkegaard.
“Ballonnenveld” by Martijn Tellinga. An installation that displays a sounding and vibrating body of helium-filled balloons. The balloons function as resonance-chambers for a trimmed spectrum of sine-waves that are fed through strings, connecting the balloons with double-coned carspeaker-elements. Each balloon holds its own resonance-frequency that changes over time as a result of varying temperature in the space, amount of helium in the balloon (decreasing over time) and length of the string.
“ElectroViaGram” by Nonconform, is an invitation to visitors to participate in the exhibition, in fact, to create it. “ElectroViaGram” is a machine for the production of exhibits which depends on visitors as a driving force. By passing light barriers the visitors activate loudspeakers which set the drawing area in vibrations.
“Minus”, a punk band’s entire equipment frozen at -25° Celsius immediately after their concert, arresting the transitory moment of the performance in a kind of standstill. By Christoph Büchel.
»Marclay’s Bike«, a modified BMX from 2006 and »Delay« (Microphone, tripod, power amplifier, revox, cables) from 2005,
»Rushmore Mount« from 2005 and »Burning Mrs O’Leary’s Cow« (DVD video) from 2006 by Dominique Blais.
