Kontakt (simultan) by Hanns Holger Rutz

This is an open-ended project or research process around extremely slow growth, and the contact between glass and biological material. It aims to implement a model of un-synchronisation, perhaps through the form of a modular installation. The “narrative” and linear scale of materials is reworked to transplant them into a spatial setting where individual nodes embody and reinterpret parts of these materials, creating a field of sonic or visual encounters.

Social media version. As of autumn 2024, I’m looking for a new host, as botsin.space is shutting down!

With text contributions from the open call by Aileen Derieg, Comet Pustój, Consuelo Mendez, Δηϊάνειρα, Florian Hartlieb, Franziska Hederer, Hanns Holger Rutz, jayrope, Mia Seppälä, Nayarí Castillo, Justin Winkler, Varun Krishnan, and others.
