AUTUMN QUANTA V: VANISHING POINTS

Saturday 12 December 2020 20:00 – 22:00
For the final event of the 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙣 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣, we contemplate an event horizon of distant futures, micro bacterial evolutions, questions of human hubris sustainability, and the appearing and disappearing acts of time and space. These last three projects, though they spiral off in disparate directions make us consider the discreet values, the most human-scale definition of the term 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮, that underpin our cultures and our connections within them.

Here we confront another future made more salient in the moment of the pandemic. Visual artist 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘵𝘪 𝘛𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘻 will perform a live transmission from a wet lab in a desolate spot in Finland to introduce 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙖 with Cyanobacteria and other space-related macros/microbial beings, with additional interactive material drawn from human and other than human lifeforms. Tenetz contemplates this microbial cinema with a view towards the possible alternate futures of the biosphere. He presents harsh environments reflected through radiating live bio-materials transformed into audio and visual signals. Technospheric records of data and visuals are developed through machine learning.

A Borderline Proxy is a movement-based performance company currently interested in interactive communications in new and social media. This short work is concerned with 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙥𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 (from which the tile comes) in relation to the creative process and the real spirit of the human body as a vehicle for suffering and transformation. This work serves as a prelude for an upcoming project concerning life during the pandemic. 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘷𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘶, 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘢 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪, 𝘑𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘓𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘩

𝘋𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘝𝘢𝘯𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘯 is a member of 𝙞𝙞𝙞, and who has already created wonders expressly for the Kunstkapel. This new work which is inspired by and in some ways recreates the Kunstkapel within itself! Thus, the approach to composition is from an architectural, spatial perspective. Visual and sonic elements are designed and positioned in close relation and interaction with the performance space. The static architectural characters get accentuated and extended by the ephemeral audiovisual elements, entangling in an immersive play of structure, light, and sound. The minimal architectural character of the Kunstkapel invites an equally minimal design of visual and sonic elements. 4 light projectors will be used: wash-beam moving headlamps, able to scan the space in all directions with powerful light beams morphing from tight focus to wide washes. The beams will create dynamic, immersive light structures complementing the static architecture. Sound will be generated using rhythmic pattern synthesizers with a cyclical nature reminiscent of the space’s shape.

October Rambles II

Little Peripatetic Buildings

Saturday October 19 2019, 20:00

Multimedia Interdisciplinary Performance by: The IrkSumSet, The Schoolalmamahler

During October Rambles II: Little Peripatetic Building The Warp pays special tribute to the Bauhaus School, which was established in 1919, a century ago. Bauhaus has had an incalculable impact on modern art, design and architecture. This of course rings true for the architecture of the Kunstkapel, where the performance will take place. It is a 360 degree curved minimalistic white space, that demands a response, which can be seen as a typical Bauhaus tendency. The pursuit of many ideas at once (rambles) will be continued during the second evening of October Rambles, and Bauhaus will be taken as an inspiration to replicate the spirals within spirals in the curved space of the Kunstkapel.

One Way or Many?

Saturday September 28 2019, 20:00

Multimedia Interdisciplinary Performance by: Valekriy, Thomas Mohr, Matteo Marangoni & Dieter Vandoren

Rambles are generally thought of as winding circuitous paths that may draw one through a complex and even daunting terrain. And so The Warp’s three audiovisual spatial performances this autumn will make twists and turns. October Rambles wants to establish a labyrinth that alters our experience of the 360 degree round Kunstkapel space. The notions of continuous detour, digression, and reorientation are inherent in the idea of rambles. With this theme The Warp invites you to explore aimlessly with open ended expectations.
