Participative and site-specific Elec-
troacoustic Sculptures created from
active recycled electronics, electro-
magnetic sound waves, and specta-
tors’s voices.

Mainly I use loudspeakers (also tun-
ers, amplifiers) as “building blocks”
to create monumental sculptures in
public spaces. The sculptures allow
the public to express themselves via
Bluetooth receivers by playing mes-
sages and music or “live” via micro-
phones and musical instruments.

At the same time the Sculptures am-
plify “recycled“ (invisible) electro-
magnetic waves (white noise) that are
produced by the incorporated receiv-
ers: the white noise sounds are low
volume and are permanently hearable
as a “background” sound that changes
throughout the day: this is the “pulse”
of the sculpture.
The sculpture itself functions as one
single multi-channel loudspeaker
system, all the loudspeakers are con-
nected (soldered together). Howev-
er it is remarkable that the sound is
different according to the position of
the listener. Each loudspeaker emits a
unique sound. As a music composer I
allow the public and electroacoustic
sound waves to occur by themselves,
although I do allow myself to “edit”
them via channel arrangements within
the sculpture itself.

Additionally the sculptures are avail-
able as PA systems for other public
events and concerts.

TEMPLE
As an artist I use electronic waste as
the “clay“ for my artwork: these ma-
terials are cheap and obtainable from
local recycling companies. The form
(architecture) of the sculpture itself
is dependant on the site and situation
and sometimes directly integrated into
local buildings and structures.
