Umwelt

Jul 28

Out of the heat and into the cool of a laboratory where sound and science are combined in new ways. The KULA Club in Konstanz became a test tube for musical experimentation for one evening. In »Umwelt«, artists from Germany and India explored biophony, the sounds in nature collected as data by researchers of the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in a remix of improvised, experimental music. The music experiment was accompanied by an exhibition that combined science, technology and art, followed by DJ sets and a party.

This event was part of the »Field Trip«, a transdisciplinary residency program between Akademie Schloss Solitude and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior.
