RAUMZEITPIRATEN: ElectricMistletoe

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

installation // Botanical garden // 2.–4. June; 21.30-23.30

OPENING: Thursday, 2nd June, at 21.30

 

The experimental series of adaptable light sculptures titled ElectricMistletoe finds inspiration in the mistletoe plant, and plays with the idea of parasitic and symbiotic relations in nature. A set of eclectic devices, characteristic for the work of this German collective, aptly combines  technology with art and suddenly appears in populated areas in the true pirate manner. The series of futuristic objects is situated in the organic structures of trees, where they transform during the night time into hubs of a lively dramaturgy of light and shadow. The project thematizes and questions the relations between man and nature, while highlighting the relations between the world of plants and of architecture in the urban space as well. 

 

RAUMZEITPIRATEN is an audiovisual, time and space changing artistic collective, consisting of Tobias Daemgen, Jan Ehlen and Moritz Ellerich. They're operating since 2007 as an art collective that combines the inspirational Einstein's concept of the four-dimensional Raumzeit (space-time) in their name with their 'piratey' duty to freely play with these concepts outside of traditional frames of production. Their site-specific and performative installations create ephemeral models of in-perfect anti-worlds, while their specially made optic-acoustic instruments abuse and reprocess the ancient and modern audio-visual technologies, building heterogeneous, organic and improvised light & sound architectures on the border between science and fiction.
