Performances

Sonic Acts has commissioned a series of new audiovisual works and sound installations to be premiered at the The Noise of Being. The opening night at Paradiso features four new 35mm Vertical Cinema films by Susan Schuppli, Karl Lemieux & BJ Nilsen, HC Gilje, and Lukas Marxt, all presented with a custom-built projector in vertical cinemascope. Joost Rekveld introduces the programme. Susan Schuppli’s Atmospheric Feedback Loops shows the complex feedback processes of climate change; Karl Lemieux & BJ Nilsen explore desolate, empty urban landscapes in their film Yujiapu. HC Gilje’s Rift transforms flickering petrochemical textures and deep-time crude oil into colourful plastics. Finally, Lukas Marxt’s film contemplates the impressive heavy industry of Murmansk. Two films from the previous commissioning round — Chrome (Esher Urlus) and Colterrain (Tina Frank) — will remind us that four years have passed from the premiere of the Vertical Cinema project. We end the evening at Paradiso with more dazzling sounds and images off ered by Roly Porter & MFO, and the algorithmic compositions of Rainer Kohlberger. STROBE WARNING: Some performances may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Discretion is advised.
