Parallel Head + Mortals Electric

Parallel Head(Ryoichi Kurokawa)

'Parallel Head' is composed of filmed scenes, animation, field-recordings, and generative audio material. Ryoichi Kurokawa builds up a dense and multi-layered, yet delicate and immersive experience of light and sound. In his precise audiovisual compositions he seeks to unify the perception of sound and image and to invoke a synaesthetic audiovisual impulse. 'Parallel Head' tests the boundaries of cinematic experience and explores a possible extension of our perception by means of a brilliant audiovisual language. The work has been previously presented as an installation or a performance; transmediale.09 will present 'Parallel Head' live on multiple screens and in surround sound.

Mortals Electric(Telcosystems)

'Mortals Electric' is a performance for single-screen projection and 5.1 surround sound. 'Mortals Electric' presents slow-moving cloud clusters, layers of strobing organic structures, deep machinic drones and waves of digital noise. With 'Mortals Electric', Telcosystems present a new audiovisual journey. Over the years, the artists group has managed to achieve a far-reaching integration of human expression and programmed computer behaviour. In the interaction with their machines they create a form of live cinema which fuses the auditory and visual domains into one spatial experience, exploring the limits of the human sensory apparatus.
