sun bed

sun bed is a performance exploring a parallel world born from a subtle planetary shift: a version of Earth tilted just enough to allow sunlight for only 99 hours each year. In this alternate reality, societies have evolved around those fleeting hours of light, developing heliocentric rituals, mythologies, and sonic traditions to honor the sun’s brief return.

Sounding Actants: Sculpt as a Way of Sound

sculpt as a way of sound is a three part collaborative work by ceramic artist Anissa Kuhn, sound artist Maximilian Szakaly, and multimedia artist Janine Scheer-Erb. They center their narrative on the moment of touch as a coming-closer and creating-contact. The exhibition was developed within the framework of the ÆSR Lab - Applied/Experimental Sound Research Laboratory. The focus is on the critical examination of sound, both as an independent actor and as a connecting element. The works examine the complexity of sound and its role in different contexts, from individual experiences to social discourses.
