NK Projekt is an artist run independent non-profit organisation dedicated to sound arts. The interest is not in becoming curators and/or organisers but in taking part in the creation and support of a “culture”, with a focus on experimental music. To this end NK organises public events that promote non-mainstream cultural production, and provide a platform for discussing paradigms in music and its problematics.
In Sound & Memory Installation: Movements in Possible Histories or a Composition for 24 Windows by Martti Mela, Libero Mureddu and Otto Korkalol, the space creates short sonic histories for the visitors. These histories shape how the space sounds for the future visitors. The piece offers a clear distinction between the interactive and reactive. The reaction of the space is unique for each visitor and supports their mutual encounters within the space.
Varia zoosystematica profundorum by the Generative Art/Computational Art Class (Alberto de Campo, UdK Berlin) presents models of mainly acoustic communication in the deep sea. A number of actants ("creatures") transmit symbols ("letters"), assemble them into chains ("words"), and express these by sound, light, or motion patterns. Freely simulating aspects of animal behavior, one may find that the strangeness of the unknown reflects the human world in unexpected ways.
Rorschach #1 by RJ Fischer is the first in a series of generative installations. It is an experiment in creating a continuously changing, personalized feedback loop.
NK’s programme will also feature performances and the workshop ''Reconstructing our memories with Ignaz Schick'. For more information on their programme head to nkprojekt.de.
