Exploring Zimoun's Sound Sculptures: Compilation Video 4.3

A new post after +6 years, this time (again!) about Swiss kinetic/sound sculptor Zimoun. He recently published Complilation Video version 4.3 which provides an overview of his work so far: I still like his work after first seeing it at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, back in 2014. As the Dutch Design Week 2024 starts tomorrow as a far more commercialized/sponsored/co[orate event than back in…

For those familiar with sound art, motion controllers to trigger computer interactions are nothing new. In fact, I own several Eowave devices, such as the Eobody2 to trigger and control VSTi’s on my computer using MIDI and hand motions: But the Leap motion…

Old and new Swiss art noises: Tinguely and Zimoun

I have been an admirer of the work of Swiss artist Jean Tinguely almost all of my life. It started while at university, when I bought this poster of a Tinguely exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. Since then I have been collection exhibition posters and graphic works of Tinguely and other artists and started to develop an interest in technology and media art. Today, I stumbled upon another…

Visual noise 20: Leyohmi by Carolina Eyck & the American Contemporary Music Ensemble

This time a video in this series with more conventional visuals than usual: “Leyohmi“by  German theremin player Carolina Eyck and the American Contemporary Music Ensemble. I have added it because I like the beautiful nature scenes of the video, the thin theremin sounds of Carolina Eyck and the general atmosphere of the video. They seem to fit a Sunday morning:…

Visual noise 19: L’Age d’Or 2 by Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven

Two weeks ago I bought a very nice book on Belgian multimedia artist Anne Mie van Kerkckhoven’s work at a book discount fair. Yesterday I noticed that she currently has a major exhibition entitled What would I do in Orbit? at Museum Abteiberg in Monchen-Gladbach (Germany), one of my favorite modern art museums. Coincidences? I don’t think so. So it is time to put the focus on her and her work in…
