KUNST UND MUSIK MIT DEM TAGESLICHTPROJEKTOR
realtime audiovisual performance by tina tonagel, christian faubel and ralf schreiber.
three persons, three overhead projectors, three screens and three sound systems.
a triptichon that displays magnified, filtered distorted images of what happens on the screens/fresnel lenses of the projectors.
with these images the small sounds of what happens on the projectors are filtered, distorted and amplified.
this happens as an ongoing realtime process and something magique happens - a synaestetic process is triggered - images and sound go together, everything is transparent and happens in the here and now.
what you see and hear is a live experiment and improvisation with small electro-kinetic devices and machines arranged on the ohp- projectors.
each of us has a set of different machines that generate movement and thus sound on their projector:
tina works with a set of rotating invented instruments that mostly ressemble string instruments. These are automated and produce sound by hitting and scratching on strings ore directly on piezo elements.
christian works with different types of autonomous robots for example a number of simple suneaters that move on the screen and hitting each other, and with solar analog walking robots suspended on the screen creating rhythms and beats.
ralf uses solar autonomous robots, solar synths, motors , visual disc sequencers and their arrangement and interactions on the screen.
because of their autonomous nature these instruments are not playable in controlled way. this requires to instead play with the instabilities of the different systems and to improvise to get to a sync of the three stageglasses.

Tina Tonagel studied Media Art at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. She lives and works in Cologne, where she has been running the exhibition space „Maxim“ with Anja Kempe and Robert Kraiss since 2004. In her work Tina Tonagel (* 1973 in Lemgo) focusses on kinetics, drawings and different forms of projection. She currently works mostly with overhead projectors converted into real-time moving image projection devices by way of mechanical constructions.

Christian Faubel works as a postdoctoral research fellow in the robotics group at the Institut fuer Neuroinformatik in Bochum, Germany. In 2001 foundation of derstrudel together with Sebastian Noth, to give a frameork to their shared interest in the development of autonomous robots, sensor integration, motor control and the mediation of a fearless approach to electronic.
