Description
In Timo Kahlen's interactive film and sound projections, 21 works of net art (2005 - 2020), complex and subtle compositions of text, image, sound and vibration are generated - always different and live - according to the varying position, direction and speed, and voluntary pauses of the computer mouse, as it hovers and clicks on the touch-sensitive visual surface. Invisible, multiple embedded layers of sound, noise and vibration form complex acoustic compositions, as visitors & users explore the individual works, and their mouse cursor meanders across the visual projections.
