LIVE-PERFORMANCE: ELECTRIFY EVERYTHING

Im Rahmen der Ausstellung As part of the exhibition Botanizing the Asphalt  

• Electrify Everything
  Di Tue 9.12.2015, 19.00
  Marjolijn Dijkman 
  Pom Bouvier-b. 

The live performance Electrify Everything translates the seductive and captivating magic of demonstrations of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment into a critical exploration of the origins of the units and language used to measure electricity. The field of electricity has been developed, manipulated, and named for three centuries to control and apply it.

Electrify Everything invites the audience to reflect on the structuring power of electricity and its relation to resources and exploitation. Pom Bouvier-b. (FR) and Marjolijn Dijkman (NL) use an experimental technique that brings the organicity back into a phenomenon that, by nature, through the displacement of elementary particles of matter, is dynamic and living. Together, they have developed experimental musical tools to play live with electric currents. They will create a sound composition using the electric charge of specific objects and devices as a medium, playing on the variations of magnetic fields.

Botanizing the Asphalt ist noch zu sehen bis is still on view until Sa Sat 13.12.2025

Das Ausstellungsprojekt Botanizing the Asphalt untersucht die politische Rolle des Lichts in städtischen Nachträumen anhand von drei thematischen Motiven, die sich darin überschneiden: Protest, Energie und Botanisieren. The exhibition Botanizing the Asphalt explores the political role of urban spaces at night through three thematic realms that intersect with the nocturnal: protest, energy, and the botanizing.
