In-situ video orchestrations and concert performances

NOMAD-X is an installation with concert performances for selected spaces and locations, be it a museum room, a construction site, a harbor, a courtyard, a park, a glacier, an alp, a desert, etc. Field recordings and video recordings serve as artistic base material. Audiovisual mapping is based on given themes, e.g. the Baroque architecture of the inner courtyard of  Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken, which conflicts the „chaotic“ external space with its social environment, e.g. the flow of human crowds, highways, public transport etc. The evolved musical structure is staged in situ with video orchestration and concert performance. NOMAD-X examines our perception mechanisms for each site and let these be experienced in a new aesthetic form.
