HackenPorsche are modified shopping trolleys for urban interventions and audiovisual guerilla performances. An analogue, optoacoustically intertwined machinery forming three light and sound emitting satellites played by the RaumZeitPiraten while getting lost in time and space of Ljubliana.

With custom-built, sound-reactive LED and laser projectors and light-controlled, musical machines they explore the city-scape transforming streets, walls, buildings and whatever crosses their way into experimental, audiovisual playgrounds.

The term public space sounds like an unfulfilled promise. Restrictive forces seem to work against what could be spheres of interaction and free communication for a community and all its inhabitants. We just do not know what the public and its places are capable of, that’s why we want to interact and learn about.

RaumZeitPiraten is an audiovisual, space and time bending artists collective and ongoing project of Tobias Daemgen, Jan Ehlen and Moritz Ellerich. In 2007 they started working as a group to get out of the spirals of egocentric self-stimulation. Besides the very inspiring concept of the four-dimensional "Raumzeit" of Albert Einstein, space and time are determining components of perception and creation. As pirates they feel free to mess around with these elements as they please, sailing away from industrial and commercial interests to custom-built lands.
With their opto-acoustic instruments and machines they are misusing and remixing ancient and up-to-date auditive and visual technologies for heterogeneous, organically improvised light and sound architectures. Their activities are aimed at playful, experimental connections of sound, image, object, space and time to an alternately-self-expanding-multimedia-performance-surround-spaceship-laboratory-travel to somewhere between science and fiction.
