Interactive media works and live streaming between Los Angeles (USA), Tijuana (MEX) and Hanover (D)
In a cooperation between the Kunstverein Kunsthalle Hannover and the independent organisation NettNett, based in Tijuana, Mexico, and the independent artist group Visuales.LucidInterval, based in Vertexx, USA, Mexican and Californian artists sample audio and video material from the internet and their own recordings relating to the current political situation in America. The edited outputs are transmitted to the Kunsthalle Faust via downloads and live streams and transformed into a complete work of art.
In its orientation, the project thus undertakes the experiment of bringing the Californian spirit of innovation, the mentality of its people in terms of internationality, openness and inventiveness to Hanover and to open up the potential of artistic interventions focussed on the future and utopia with the inclusion of digital technologies in the discourse. Equally important here is the strategy of networking between the partners to establish a joint artistic platform in the Beuysian sense of a social sculpture.
The technical implementation is made possible by the NettNett organisation, which operates a radio station, and on site through cooperation with the in-house Faust TV, which was launched in 2020. It takes place via live stream and live feedback with various formats such as audiovisual installations, holograms, live performances, podcasts and VJ events.
Participating artists Natalie Deseke (Hanover), Nathaniel Eras (USA), Derek Holguin (USA), Haydee Jimenez (Mexico), Marjam Oskoui (Hanover), Benjamin Petersen (Hanover) and Klaus vom Bruch (Berlin)
Curation Marjam Oskoui and Harro Schmidt
