Eidetiker: The Glacier Journey a collaborative project with composer and dj Chamberlain Zhang screens today and until the 18th of November at CICA Museum for the “Contemporary Landscape” exhibition. The project explores landscape in the form of memory and its deterioration by the passing of time. Distorting a landscape from the past using pixelization is a way to visualize what we have done to our environment and continuing doing it until today. The only difference is that pixels can be beautiful!!!!!

Archival footage from the Prelinger Archives. Balancing transparency, superimposition, coloring, editing. Visual conceptualization and research.
Chamberlain Zhang/Sound:
A piece composed for an ensemble using a graphic score. The reason behind this structured improvisation is the idea of composing in real time, unifying past, present and future. The piece experiments with the spatial, architectural aspect of sounds (electronic and acoustic) and it's the result of my study of composition and improvisation.
[Electronics (Moog), violin, saxophone, bass Clarinet, piano, double bass, various percussion.]
