An intimate exploration of a studio, cluttered with all sorts of technological paraphernalia, acts as an indirect portrait of the composer Laurie Spiegel. Without showing her face, Satz renders Spiegel present by focusing our attention on her voice and on her pioneering electronic music.

Nuts & Bolts
Read more about this programme#61
In #61, abstract moving images react to the eye movements of several visitors. The installation deals with visual perception as a dialogue between observer and observed, seen as a metaphor for similar dialogues that occur in the relations between humans and their technology and humans and their environment.

66 Kinos
Philipp Hartmann made a film, toured the German cinema scene with it and made that into a film too: an overview of an eclectic mix of cinemas all run by cinephiles. Shared love entails shared suffering: every Kino is under threat.

Cataract
Jason Dee creates video installations that combine found footage from numerous lens-based and audio media from different eras. In this installation the surface of a wall-mounted screen has been cut and the black reverse side pulled through. Onto this dark overhanging section is projected a looped video of Buster Keaton suspended on the edge of a waterfall.
