Gestern war ein wunderbarer 3-königlicher Anfang von 2013. Mit dem Workshop im ZKM ging es los. Mit dem Projekt Klang_Bau_Stelle haben wir die Besucher eingeladen die Eingangshalle des ZKM^s zu untersuchen und die Klänge mit Hilfsmittel zu entlocken. Es war eine Freude die Teilnehmer mit auf Klangreise zu nehmen. Mit der Feedback Schaltung und Schläger wie auch mit den Superballs ist es uns gelungen 25min Klangmaterial zu sammeln und das Gebäude an sich an zu regen. Gerade David Tudor experimentierte schon mit den Feedback der Dinge und liess TeilnehmerInnen in seinen Workshop feedback erzeugen an hängende Objekte.

In het project ‘Art Verde’ (Groene Kunst) willen we met drie kunstwerken, gemaakt van afvalmateriaal, het thema duurzaamheid bij stadsjongeren onder de aandacht brengen. Onder leiding van Kaspar König, een kunstenaar dierecycling en hergebruik in zijn bloed heeft, zijn 3 van onze studenten aan de slag gegaan met afvalmateriaal, plastics en oud speelgoed. Zij zijn gekomen tot meerdere verassende kunstwerken die ons uitdagen om verder te denken over duurzaamheid. Continue reading ‘ART VERDE Opening >> 27 jan 17u >> Brusselsestraat 56′

Yes, back in building from scratch. The project 10×10->11 is back in a new style american jacket! We make Catharina Instruments, which means that we’re gonna recycle the found trash and waste from New Orleans streets and make a show full of undiscovered sounds in the Zeitgeist gallery in New Orleans, read all about it

we’ve been working on great projects within the timelab in Gent. This video shows how I finished lasercutting my add-ons for traffic signs or other public design. I made two hooks with a precise fit for hooking up a string, which I can tension whenever I want. There is a bridge in the middle of the string, so the whole urinoir starts to become sound!

nightwatcherfebike
In my secondimpress 2 , the workshop sustainable design, the nightwatcher does got a friendly face, new FEbike and turtles dance!
So sometimes I think it is quite hopeless what I am doing… A sustainable / recycling workshop in the country where resources are utmost exploited. Whereas traditional chinese production has to do with sustainability in its purest form, recent wealth and economy-growth are known to be the reasons, as far as we see. I’m told that not even 20 years ago china was everywhere much much cleaner. But now even in the remote places, waste is being dumped basicly everywhere. So when I started my workshop in order to make awareness of the resources we throw away in our daily lifes, many “new” resources for our course where already available in close sight. And actually I started to make some paper to cardboard in different shapes. Also local industries are contacted to enrich our workshop. Many mis-printed KFC packaging is now being re-designed by fifteen very motivated students. I try to give you an impression of the first results. I hope the photos explain themselfs. (anyway I post a seperate article on the workshop once everything is done) Continue reading ‘secondfreshimpress 2 > beijing > workshop recycling’

KOMBINAT 06
14.8. bis 18.8. 2006

Das Schlag.Zeug.Atelier Berz führt im Sommer jeweils eine Kreativitätswoche mit Jugendlichen und Künstlern durch.
Ein projektbezogener, spartenübergreifender und lustvoller Umgang mit der eigenen Kreativität wird mit Künstlern und Jugendlichen erprobt.

Während einer Woche kreiert eine Künstlergruppe zusammen mit Jugendlichen eine Installation mit ausgedienten Plattenspielern. Die Jugendlichen werden von der Künstlergruppe angeleitet, jedem Plattenspieler eine Persönlichkeit zu verleihen. Es werden Szenen entwickelt, die die Geschichte einer wild gewordener Horde Plattenspieler erzählen, welche die Menschen davon überzeugen wollen, dass Welt eine Scheibe ist.
Parallel zur Fertigung der Installation entsteht ein Animationsfilm. Am Freitagabend werden die Werke der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt.

Simon Berz initiiert bereits zum dritten Mal eine Kombinatswoche mit dem Ziel, Jugendlichen und Künstlern die Gelegenheit zu geben, anhand von einem Projekt alters-, geschlechts- und kunstübergreifende Begegnungen zu schaffen. Alle Beteiligten sollen dabei die Möglichkeit haben, durch gegenseitige Beeinflussung und Inspiration künstlerische, soziale, phänomenologische und pädagogische Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Durch das Zusammentreffen von Künstlern und Jugendlichen will Berz Synergien schaffen und diese künstlerisch nutzen. Dabei sollen alle, Erfahrene und Unerfahrene, auf ihre Weise profitieren können. „Der gemeinsame Prozess“ soll allen Beteiligten die Möglichkeit geben, neue Erfahrungen und Inspirationen zu sammeln. Die Performance dient am Ende der Woche zur Reflexion des Erarbeiteten und ermöglicht der Öffentlichkeit einen Einblick in den Schaffensprozess.

In Zug (CH) in cooperation with Simon Berz, Michelle Ettlin and Andrew Phillips, a workshop on enhancing your bicycle sound was helt in the spinnihalle. One week long, 10 children developped their personal bicycle sound with great succes.

what happens when you discover that objects for daily use can become experimental fields of new sounds and designs. Get the fever of manipulating your bicycle. In any age you might find really eye-openers. A simple thing that is round like a wheel will easily (re-)appear as a beat in a music you’re about to make!
Check out the film on the link below.

Workshop Klangrad 7.sept unterstützt von migros kulturprozent

oder homeMade > 24.8-26.8.2006

In this experimental project, our aim is to
practically experience the relation between indoorfitness-
utilities and music.The human body uses a rhythm to
maintain a endurance during a training. Is
this the same endurance we use in a dance club?
Could we do more training when we produce music
meanwhile? Would we dance more if we’re sure how
our body moves on music? In this innovative project
we’re keen to find amazing sounds produced by friction
and traction from the body on (and as) a
machine.

Experiment:
In order to find this relation, we want to
make a training utility based on an existing sportdevice
like a home-trainer.This machine will be prepared
with (midi-)sensors and microphones. By connecting
a computer with the appropriate software
the training machine will trigger samples and beats.
The user of the device will start to train with and
without a beat.The natural build up of a training program
will be maintained.The behavior of the user will
be measured in endurance and in joy of the training
program.

Context:
The fitnesscenters are full of training devices
and people who are training on these machines often
use a personal musicplayer to accompany the training.
The idea to combine machine and musicplayer
could open a new field of soundscapes and training
programs that give music a new meaning as well as
training a new audio context:“The art of training or
the training of audio” If endurance on a fitnessdevice
can be connected to the joy of creating music, a relation
in movement and synchronized sound can connect
a lot of senses The user get stimulated and for
people listening and looking to the user become a
feeling to movement and sound.

Outcome:
when the Artwork is tested and supplied with
samples seducing the user to continue the
rhythm,the training can center a new level of interaction
and communication between body and mind.
basically anybody (musical or not, sportive or not) is
invited to become a new perception of sensibility
towards the body, endurance and listening pleasure.

audiotraining _ a program to bike the beat_
…connecting sounds and sports in one performance…
